• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Plesk IIS 6.0 Websites

I am using shared IP Addresses in our current hosting setup. We currently create a new website instance in IIS. When I use Plesk to setup the web hosting it looks like the sites are all bundled under one website instance? I thought plesk used host header files for shared ip from what I was told on the phone by one of the sales reps. Can someone with previous IIS6.0 experience and Windows 2003 experience please tell me if they are running into the same issues.

thanks much,

We use Windows 2003 Web. Ed. with plesk 6.5.1.

thats right all sites witch have the same shared IP are under one Site, the site with the the shared ip address. plesk solves that with the mapping.dll, that you get the right connted of a site.

so if you type in www.yoursite.com you will by redirected through the mapping.dll witch you see in iis under isapi to the right directory. the direct url to the website would be:

http://yourip/yourdomain.com_non_ssl/
 
I am also using Windows 2003 Web Edition and all domains using a shared IP are handled by Plesk with no problems. I try not to think too much about how it happens just know that it works very well on 5 different servers and try to just keep the clients happy.
That is why I bought Plesk for Windows after using it for 2 years on Linux boxes, since version 2.0.
