Plesk Reviews

Great, but prefer cPanel

Pros:

Plesk is indeed a great tool. It's complete, it's secure, it has a good performance so yes, it's a great tool. I just don't give it 5 stars because I feel cPanel to be more complete.

Cons:

In my opinion, cPanel is a more complete solution and simpler to use. Have been using both systems for many years now and I always feel that options in cPanel are more intuitive and require less clicks to reach where we want

Plesk for the WIN!

Comments: Plesk has been impressing with every update since I discovered them. Documentation is available and the community forums are great!

Pros:

Securtiy and ease of use. Deployment and management is madd for the average and experienced user.

Cons:

That i hadnt discovered it sooner and saved myself some headaches.

Plesk Review

Comments: Currently I use plesk to manage my websites, email service and database for my business. And the benefit i enjoy with plesk is their responsive customer service. They have been of help over certain issues but have also not demonstrated technical expertise in some (I had to resolve some of those issues myself).

Pros:

Plesk has an easy to navigate panel and has a simple build to help first timers navigate their way through sections without any hassle or third party walk-through. It also has a one-click install option for installing certain apps like wordpress e.t.c

Cons:

Although it's easy to navigate Plesk, however the user interface isn't very appealing. An interface like the popular cpanel is preferred. Judging by my experience, the plesk panel only allows you to open one database at a time and therefore limits multitasking (especially when i want to use records from two different databases at the same time). Unlike Cpanel, installing scripts on plesk takes a more stressful approach. Finally, i prefer that file permissions on plesk be changed to easily understandable numbers (for instance 644, 777 and so on) as opposed to alphabets. The plesk panel breaks sometimes and shows error messages that do not apply. For instance, it sometimes throws a "File too large error" for a file less than 50kb.

Private ISP’s opinion

Comments: Over 20 years of using it, would not stay in hosting without it

Pros:

Comprehensive and good solid support over the many years

Cons:

No MFA on email makes it difficult to retain users required to have it

Secure and easy server management

Comments: I am very happy with Plesk as a web hosting management system. Its pricing is cheaper, features are great, now I do not have to worry about managing my secure server anymore.

Pros:

Plesk is easy to set up, provides a feature-rich user interface for managing multiple websites. Supports Nginx, regular backup, and migration from popular web hosting management systems. The pricing for VPS with 10 domains starts at $11 per month which is an unbeatable price in the industry.

Cons:

Plesk does not offer a single site license.

Plesk as a cPanel replacement

Comments: Amazing user interface and a good replacement for cPanel.

Pros:

Simple to use and amazing user interface that is self-explanatory even for newbies. The best one click install for Let's Encrypt for certificates.

Cons:

Lack of more tools to create a tailor-made experience.

Plesk: Secured & Lasting Backup For WordPress Sites

Comments: Plesk has accompanied us for the past years with 100% satisfaction. We recommend wholeheartedly.

Pros:

Plesk interface first of all is so easy to use. Secondly, we managed to perform multiple website migration, following server migration. Restoring our WordPress instances, with zero error is seamless with WordPress.

Cons:

The updates are tiresome. It would be great if this can be automated.

Plesk is the best web hosting control panel

Comments: My overall experience with plesk is awesome i have everything that i need from the begging of the web hosting process tell the and then scaling my website. Plesk gives you everything from hosting your website to creating databases and emails you can manage your storage you can customize your plesk so it fits your needs you can monitor the performance of your site and basically everything you need plesk can give you

Pros:

Plesk has very nice and customizable user interface and there is allot of plugins you can install so you can customize it so it best fits your requirements. You can monitor the performance of your website you can create databases emails manage storages and allot more Plesk has allot of things that are my favorite

Cons:

The thing that i like the least about plesk is creating a superuser is very very hard specially when it comes to passwords you can only have the password that is given by the server providers i want this to be more flexible

Plesk to rule them all

Pros:

Improved interface, firewall options, and the ability to manage server updates seamlessly.

Cons:

Monitoring and notifcations could be better.

Plesk Review

Pros:

Easy to use, customizable with great support

Cons:

Lacks support for managing Microsoft SQL Server

Plesk- The pocket friendly yet powerful website hosting panel

Comments: Plesk have enabled our customers to manage their servers/websites easily and in a pocket friendly manner

Pros:

Easy to Use, subscription addition and oveusage monitoring, monitoring of server resources, ease of availability of statistics, ability to create user and assign required roles, integration with smartermail or mailenable,budget friendly

Cons:

Plesk takes long time to doll out new features, should give more options to harden the server from the panel itself

Plesk

Comments: Plesk provides awesome web development admin solutions. It's easy to use and doesn't consume much space on my droplets. I'm satisfied working with it and I highly recommend it

Pros:

Well, Plesk offers one of the best web management technologies. I personally run 3 WordPress websites that are hosted on the Digital Ocean VPS and I manage every single operation on these websites smoothly using the Plesk panel.Firstly, Plesk is super easy to install and it runs perfectly (without any glitches) on the latest versions of Ubuntu and CentOs. It has too many extensions that are super useful for my site's performance. For example, the speed kit extensions perform better with WordPress than the default Litespeed cache plugin. it's easy to configure and works extremely well.It also provides hard-guard security, run by the Kaspersky anti-virus technology which keeps my websites free from malware attacks and there are just too many positive specs.Plesk is great in terms of security, performance, capability, and affordability. The Web Admin EditionVPS plan is sufficient for my needs.I love how friendly and responsive the customer support service is.

Cons:

I have had no negative impressions about this tool so far. It's great as it meets my business needs.

For me the best

Comments: Really really good in the end. I would make this choice again in the future.

Pros:

For me who manage small hosting services in VPS is a fantastic choice: it is fast, fast, at an affordable and reliable price. He certainly loses in the competition with Cpanel but this is not necessarily a negative point. Finally UI and UX are really good.

Cons:

It doesn't integrate well with Cloudflare and that's really a shame, the mailbox management isn't perfect and for anything you have to pay. And A lot. The subscription to a classic antivirus often costs as much as 3 times the subscription. Often these services are nothing more than adaptations of open source code.

The Hosting Panel

Comments: With plesk i solved all requirements because have apps to integrate directly to the panel i used dockers into plesk and is great option and functionality

Pros:

To me the best hosting panel with great features constantly update and integrations i love this panel every day

Cons:

To me no have any cons to this admin panel because have all tools to work in best place

You can start a web hosting business within an hour with Plesk!

Comments: Absolutely awesome.

Pros:

Plesk automates 99% of server management and billing tasks. Supports almost every payment processors out there. No programming skill required to set it up. Powerful auto backup features keep backup of your business and customer data every moment. From it’s simple interface, you can start a powerful web hosting business within an hour.

Cons:

Little expensive for small business or individuals.

Great tool for server management

Pros:

more and more often I find servers managed by plesk, its graphical interface and its plugins offers many features such as git management and much more. highly recommended !! Requires less ram then other tools.

Cons:

I use it almost daily and have no problems

A leader in web hosting control panels, if you can afford it.

Comments: We use Plesk as a control panel of our web hosting services for our clients, from the point of view of ease of use, clarity of information displayed, and manageable settings, it is a great tool.

Pros:

* The administrative dashboard is very intuitive and easy to use. * Many options of additions. * Support for many technologies (several versions of PHP available, Docker and NodeJS). * It can be installed in many flavors of Linux, even in Windows * Integrates general security tools and a specific one for WordPress.

Cons:

* Something expensive. * Many add-ons imply additional recurring costs. * The TCO of the solution tends to be elevated even for simple solutions. * Although normally it does not have security flaws, these exist. * Plesk handles the recurring collection of the license (either monthly or annually) through a third party, if it expires it can be a hell to renew it, make sure you never fall into that situation.

Must-have for software developers

Comments: Saves us a lot of time, so we have more time for developing awesome websites.

Pros:

- No need to touch the command line anymore - Easy to use - Secure - Makes it possible to host over 400 websites

Cons:

- Quite expensive for the Web Host edition with unlimited domains

The Leader in Website Control Panels for The More Technical

Comments: We use Plesk to manage our cloud servers. It provides a rich graphical user interface to replace command-line operations.

Pros:

Very powerful and feature-rich. Can be set up for web hosts or for internal company use. Low cost. Allows administrators to automatically keep server software up to date.

Cons:

Takes a little while to learn. Since it has so many features, it can be overwhelming at first for some.

Easy and complete management on servers

Comments: Plesk has helped me manage servers, VPS and dedicated servers easily and effectively. Much easier than others in the field.

Pros:

Compared to other products, the server management is another world and even more so for people with little knowledge of terminal code.

Cons:

Maybe comparing other products, the lack of some specific functions. But that does not hinder at all the good performance it has.

Makes life easy

Comments: We switched from CPanel to Plesk years ago for managing our server and haven't looked back since. Very stable, mature software which makes server management much easier.

Pros:

Plesk cuts through the complexity of server and hosting management with a stable easy to use interface. I can't remember encountering any bugs, and find its cost quite reasonable for the power it brings.

Cons:

There's a level of complexity in the software which could be an obstacle for some users.

Strongly Satisfied

Pros:

Arrangement, UI, Ease Of Use, Flexibility to manage domains and sub domains, Free Extensions :)

Cons:

Database backup and management interface,My little admin is poor and old UI

Best Server Manager

Pros:

We were using plesk on an Azure Virtual Machine to manage our server and host our websites. It is a powerful tool that allows you to host websites in just a few clicks.

Cons:

Occasionally, servers crash with plesk when a php update has failed. Plesk does the necessary to fix it in error but we are forced to do an action by hand

Web server administration made relatively easy

Comments: Helps to keep the web server admin costs low.

Pros:

Relatively easy to handle since many otherwise difficult tasks can be done with a relatively simple user interface.

Cons:

Always a bit slow in implementing strong security, like HSTS took years to implement, to name just an example. So you always have to tinker about if you want to have it as secure as possible. Also, nowerdays almost every new feature gets implemented as seperate addon you have to pay a monthly fee for. They simply want to make money with everything.

Almost all is there

Comments: Very stable, support is very good. Evry issue solved in reasonnable time

Pros:

Great for multi web site hosting. Ability to customize

Cons:

Missing some essential functions (till now)
