My main use case for Plesk is to host domains, email hosting, and websites. In my daily work, I have hosted many websites related to e-commerce websites, ERP websites, and day-to-day email solutions using Plesk for hosting domains, email, or websites.

Manages thousands of websites through a single control panel and supports secure domain and email hosting
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Plesk offers excellent features including Plesk email security, Plesk backup manager, and Let's Encrypt SSL. Plesk has impacted our organization positively by allowing us to host multiple domains, and we can manage thousands of websites in a single control panel. Managing thousands of websites in a single control panel has helped our team by providing a centralized environment where we can host multiple websites securely and manage the backups as well.
Plesk provides all-in-one bundle solutions such as backup, email, email hosting, and domains.
What needs improvement?
Plesk's user interface must be improved. The performance is good, but it would be beneficial if there were an option for OpenLightSpeed or any LightSpeed web server for needed improvements in Plesk.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Plesk for the last six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Plesk is stable, but sometimes we face issues related to updates.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Plesk's scalability is good; however, sometimes users face issues specific to Windows servers.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support is fantastic.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used WHM, cPanel, and DirectAdmin, and we switched to Plesk because it provides affordable and reliable solutions.
How was the initial setup?
I purchased Plesk through the AWS Marketplace, and we are also a Plesk partner.
What was our ROI?
Plesk has saved a lot of cost for us and for our employees as well in terms of return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was fantastic as we are getting affordable partner pricing.
What other advice do I have?
Plesk services are provided to many of our clients. I would rate Plesk overall a 10 out of 10. I chose this rating because we have been using Plesk for many years, and it has been providing reliable services and solutions. My advice to others looking into using Plesk is that Plesk is lightweight compared to cPanel, but you should still use at least two virtual CPUs and 4 GB RAM. While hosting WordPress, you should avoid cheap shared VPS plans because Plesk becomes slow and backups time out. Extensions such as Plesk Migrator and Plesk Email Security are excellent. We are a partner with Plesk, which represents our business relationship with this vendor in addition to being a customer.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Plesk: The best server management platform for Linux
What do you like best about the product?
I've used a lot of web services in my career but Plesk is a platform that I am not going to let go. Managing hundreds on website instances, configuring servers, generating backups and updating WordPress plugins have never been so easy. It's centralized, secured in the cloud and reliable at all times. Best, we could install our Plesk server within minutes be it with IONOS Cloud or Google Cloud. Customer support is knowledgeable, kind and professional all the way. While we use Plesk daily, our major updrades are quarterly.

Plesk vs. cPanel: Plesk is a Better Choice for Web For Me
What do you like best about the product?
The Plesk is very simple to use with its design and is easy to navigate, as compared to the other competitor like c panel, it's a bit easy to use as cpanel has old traditional setting still in old look. It also has built-in security features, such as SSL certificate management and automatic malware scanning has a built-in WordPress Toolkit which allows users to manage their WordPress installations directly from the control panel. This includes automatic updates, backups, and security scans and the best and flexible licensing options.

Great Hosting Service With Automation
What do you like best about the product?
Plesk takes the work out of hosting. You can allow them to automate tons of the boring tasks that you used to do. In addition, they backup everything so you don't have to worry about losing your site when you accidentally update something incorrectly.

There are so many options that it is hard to learn everything and choose what you want to use. It's kind of like a smartphone, it is capable of so much more than we use it for.

Plesk is a great hosting platform for websites and launching products. I love the automation that they offer!
Wp toolkit + plesk
What do you like best about the product?
Complete web management hosting solutions. Able to install plug-ins directly from the pledge panel. Easy to use dashboard and useful service. One of the best hosting solution I used till now.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just improve the customer service. Having immediate response for all the support tickets would be great.
Other than that, there is nothing else to complain about. If you are using this then you are technically capalable enough to browse through the options.
