  • 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.

    Excellent reply Gary W. (again)!

    Important New Plesk webmail / SOGo Webmail extension

    So result of support ticket... Plesk supports CloudLinux, but apparently not with SOGo Webmail. Really? Plesk is getting worse by the day... Support even gave a link to a DirectAdmin solution. Haha. Seems Plesk support even thinks Plesk is EOL.

    Input Enormous price increases yet again for 2025

    Couldn't edit my previous reply anymore. But it's really forced, ELS is automatically added to the Plesk license with an OS like CentOS 7.x. You can cancel it, but it will simply be re-added automatically. I also emailed about this back a long time ago, but Plesk confirmed all Plesk versions...

    Yes it's forced.

    Input Enormous price increases yet again for 2025

    Haha. Yes, Plesk does force to upgrade in a way. Otherwise you are charged a fee for the crazy ELS program. We still had customers on CentOS 6.x since they refused to migrate (no clue why). But for CentOS 6.x there was no idiotic ELS program and charging customers extra money. With CentOS 7.x...

    Important New Plesk webmail / SOGo Webmail extension

    IMHO CloudLinux 8.x which is installed upon AlmaLinux 8.x. for compatiblity for older PHP-versions should also be included as support OS.

    Excellent post which nails almost everything at Plesk! Thank you HostaHost! A++

    Question New ImunifyAV extension a massive setback?

    Meanwhile: Probably there will be a paid option for 0.99 USD per month to remove the bloatware, if I know Plesk. ;-) But more seriously; I doubt this will be changed anytime soon... But the old ImunifyAV(+) was excellent and easy / understandable to use. Also the interface was much faster; the...

    Input Why I'm quitting Plesk after nearly a decade

    Gary, you summed it up perfectly. Every single point you raised is exactly what we—and many others—have been saying for years. The SaaS model ensures you keep paying endlessly for what is essentially the same product, with only minor tweaks, while the pricing spirals out of control. Your...

    Input Enormous price increases yet again for 2025

    So… as promised, here’s the screenshot of all the hard work our team has put in over the past few months. We’ve successfully migrated a massive number of customers (Plesk server owners) to other solutions. Sadly, we also lost a few customers along the way—but hey, that’s just collateral damage...

    Question New ImunifyAV extension a massive setback?

    I already created a ticket for this issue, because we now have several Plesk server customers who are experiencing this bloatware. Currently it's being forwarded to CloudLinux. No clue when or if this will be resolved though.
  12. HHawk

    Input Enormous price increases yet again for 2025

    Yes. But I don't need support, but since you have it... Why not make use of it. We only have 60.000 hosting accounts (DirectAdmin, Plesk and some others) spread over 1400 servers. Though I can fix and do a lot on my own, it's sometimes easier to drop Plesk a ticket. Which was great in the early...

    Question New ImunifyAV extension a massive setback?

    Yes it seems to be a complete downgrade. Customers are now spammed with purchasing the Imunify360 version. It's ridiculous. It's like buying a new car and your windshield is full of stickers telling you that you can also buy winter tires at the same garage. Plesk seriously becoming bloatware. I...

    Input Enormous price increases yet again for 2025

    Please stop making this personal IgorG. Thank you politely. You’ve made an astute observation that fuel, meat, and other products have increased in price over the years. But let’s be honest—nothing has jumped by 40% in a single year. That dubious honor belongs solely to Plesk, and that’s exactly...

    Sorry, Bitpalast/Peter Debik/IgorG, but I won’t engage in further personal attacks or distractions. Let’s keep this on-topic and focus on what actually matters: Enormous price increases yet again for 2025! If you’d like to discuss your personal experiences, opinions, or the pros and cons of...
