Question Replacing cPanel with Plesk and multi-server questions

webjive

New Pleskian
After using cPanel for more than a decade, we're looking at our options. My question is about using Plesk for web hosting and email. We're considering (and have been for a while) using cPanel's mail-only node to shift mail functions off to lower-cost VPS-based servers while keeping hosting on higher-end bare metal.

Right now we're running 2 cPanel servers and 1 DNS-only server and are looking to shift to 2 DNS-only servers, 2 web hosting servers, and 2 mail node servers for our business-class customers.

We have learned from past mistakes that 99% of our customers can tolerate websites being down for a period but not their email services.

My questions are: does Pleask offer similar node solutions for web hosting, DNS, and email only?
If so, does Plesk offer incremental backups to S3-compatible services like WASABI? We're using WASABI now with Jetback but, JB5 still doesn't support cPanel mail-only node backups.

Thanks for any info!
 
Wow, I am surprised that no one responded to this. While I am also looking for the same answered this.
  • There is no dedicated Plesk edition for email only. But you can setup a separate Plesk server for customer/domains which only need email.
  • The Slave DNS manager can be used to synchronize DNS zones to secondary DNS servers with Bind DNS. No need to install Plesk on those secondary DNS servers.
  • If WASABI has a S3 compatible API it can probably used with the S3 backup extension.
