What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to access plesk from anywhere including my cellular. However, this is based on know how not an app or any suport.
What do you dislike about the product?
Servers fail a lot and no support given when it happens. You must be knowledgeable to fix it yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our websites have different IPs and redirects not leading all to the same address. This helps with pagerank on Google and other search engines. Each domain is seen as separate entities instead of one entire being.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You must really understand how to use SSH console and plesk otherwise you will make yourself crazy or you need someone who is certified in this. It is not easy you will not learn it from watching a youtube video.

Will it be the next top control panels for web hosting?

What do you like best about the product?
Plesk can run on both linux and windows operating systems and have greater control at the OS level.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like cpanel plesk does not have the ability to interact with third party software and usually has a slower loading speed with linux servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing multiple hosting for my clients website has become relatively easy because of its server to site features, has allowed for a better secured shared hosting of the websites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Both cPanel and Plesk have their pros and cons so it is better to evaluate what your requirements are before jumping into conclusions

What do you like best about the product?
Plesk's control panel allows us to set up new websites, vendor and reseller accounts, e-mail, DNS entries , etc. via a web interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes little time to get up to speed with the product but the time savings and automation we achieved is well worth the effort and we have established a process for training new hires.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We created templates that can determine resource allocation settings for the domains and/or clients. It has saved a lot of time with Git, WordPress, and CloudFlare.

Really, really a bad company. A utter disgrace in the webhosting world!

What do you like best about the product?
Well the product Plesk was almost perfect for almost 15 years. Their pricing was one of the best in the industries. And we experienced Plesk from 7.5.4 to it's current version Plesk Onyx 17.5.3. Sometimes the advertisements are annoying, but still it "was" a good product.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have been a solid partner of Plesk for many, many years (almost 15 years). We went through SWsoft, Parallels, Odin and then back to Plesk during all these years. We never had an issue before, until recently.

Plesk, who are now a separate business entity, decided to increase their pricing. Ofcourse we can live with a price increase. It's normal for companies to increase their prices a "bit", but what Plesk decided is an utter disgrace...!

Pricing increased, for us (a loyal partner of Plesk for many years) by 875%... This is absurd and insane.

Before the price increase we would pay about 1000 USD per month.
...after the price increase we now have to pay almost 5000 USD!

No self-respected company would increase their pricing this way. This is the first time, since we went in business, we have experienced something like this (20+ years).

This is how Plesk nowadays treats their loyal customers / partners. This is really not normal. Plesk really does NOT care about their loyal and long-standing partners. Plesk is, simply put, a DISGRACE!

Obviously we cannot enforce our customers to pay 875% increase, because we received this increase from Plesk. Unlike Plesk we actually do value our customers.

So we decided to look for alternatives, something which we needed to do before. As a result we already canceled over 100 Plesk licenses completely. Another 70 will follow before the beginning of next month and after that we will continue to cancel another 150 licenses.

Because of this despicable treatment of Plesk we decided to bid Plesk completely farewell and use alternatives. So hopefully we can get rid of Plesk completely within 4 - 6 months (over 450 Plesk licenses).

So be warned...

Our conclusion; if you are in the hosting business and you value your money and want to be treated seriously and with respect, then avoid Plesk at all costs...! They are just a bunch of scammers nowadays, really!


Sidenote; I have 100% proof of everything and invoices who can confirm this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Webhosting business, virtual and dedicated servers, reseller plans and so on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Doubt we will be a partner for much longer, especially considering the 875% price increase. Other companies are thinking of doing the same as us; drop Plesk completely.

Try it!
