• 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.

  • 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.

Windows 2008 Server + Plesk: Security Questions

E

Empty Thanks

Guest
I would like to setup a new dedicated server with the following:

- Windows Server Standard 2008 64bit Edition
- Plesk control panel

Questions:

Anyone know of a thorough tutorial on securing/optimizing a Windows 2008 server (even with Plesk) for a shared hosting environment?

Other ?'s:

Considering Plesk's rip-off pricing, any free and quality alternatives to their products?

- plesk dr.web antivirus
- acronis trueimage backup
- plesk powerpack (I guess $24.99/mo lease isn't too horrible)

Thank you.

PS: I basically want to replicate a Cpanel shared/reseller hosting environment, but with Plesk since Cpanel for Windows is not yet available and been delayed forever.
