AI is here; it's time to harness its power to create a new web hosting control panel. This kind of client treatment is completely bonkers.

Problem When hosting modern PHP applications (such as Mautic, Laravel, Symfony, or Composer-based projects) as Plesk subdomains, the current backup system creates a critical gap in disaster recovery capabilities. Current Behavior: Plesk subdomain backups only include the document root...

High prices hurt Plesk by alienating the very users who helped it gain popularity—small hosting providers, freelancers, and developers—many of whom are now turning to cheaper or free alternatives like CyberPanel or Webmin. The steep licensing costs make Plesk difficult to justify, especially...

I think Plesk is raising its rates because it knows the future of the web is AI and that websites of the future will be food for AI answer engines, which won't need hosting control panels and sophisticated websites that never get visited. I can see GeoCities making a comeback, supported by Big...

I fixed it by creating a custom nginx.conf for the domain, and making the file immutable so Plesk can't overwrite it. Magento is working incredibly well now; page load times are wicked fast.

I'm in Magento 2.4 / Nginx hell too. You need to set it to the root to the /pub directory for Magento security. The problem with Nginx is the inability to modify the server root Location ~/ setting to allow Magento's router to rewrite URLs correctly. I'm currently looking for a method to...

To get back to the operational level, I had to modify the /etc/msmtprc I had to hard-set these values. (Which should be available in the Plesk Panel under settings!! ) from email allow_from_override on domain For my login script, I had to modify it to: For Plesk Notifications coming from...

Everything has been working great until the latest update. I've verified the email account settings using a desktop client and re-entered the details into Plesk. All Plesk emails should be coming from [email protected], but now they are being sent from [email protected], and when...

The Plesk Upgrade for MariaDB didn't function properly because of two tables with 0 Autodata integers. I had to use the manual method. After upgrading, PHPMyAdmin stopped working for all users due to a permission issue with the pma__tracking. After two hours of troubleshooting, I found a...

Thanks, but that defeats the purpose of using Cloudflare security to protect the server IP. Hope to see a future upgrade.

Server performance is acceptable. Doing some research, if Plesk were to use Server-Sent Events (SSE) instead of what it currently uses, it would solve this problem. Considering the hosts using Cloudflare, this might be something Plesk Devs want to implement.

When starting real-time log monitoring, it crashes after 100 seconds, which is Cloudflare's default, and throws a 524 Error. No matter your rule, it's unpreventable. Even when disabling caching with the orange cloud, going straight to the subdomain IP does not fix it, suggesting it's the origin...

It's great to hear of your liberation. I was about to do the same, but I received a Black Friday deal for a 40% discount if you purchased an annual license yesterday and went with it to buy some time for other, more critical projects.

If Plesk were sold to a company in Russia, the US would sanction and ban it from being used, just as they did to Kaspersky.

Agreed. We're most likely going to move to CloudPanel.
