Question Starting hosting company

New Pleskian
Hello,

Does plesk installation offer security settings by default ? So my task is only to install plesk and start offering hosting services ? Or do I need to be Linux specialist to host other people sites ?

Do you have Basic Guide for hosting and info about common pitfalls ?

br. Esa

you have to install firewalls and other security measures.

i am also thinking if a server admin is required
 
Plesk Do not offer security after its installed. You have to install and configure the components in order to secure a Plesk server. Things like Fail2Ban , Plesk Firewall , Mod Security etc.. can be done from Plesk as well as changing the SSH port , enabling SYN protection and few more things needs to be done from root level itself for hardening.
