I noticed Plesk uses an unsecured connection for webmail: webmail.mydomain.com Can this connection be secured or is that not possible? (Isn't this a security risk?)

Hi guys, Can someone explain (in short) what the relations are between customers, domains, subscriptions and service plans? As I understand a service plan is a "package" with predefined settings. Now what I would like to know is how a customer and a subscription are "connected". Does each...

Hello, I run a VPS with Plesk 12. Can I set SSL certificates for all the domains on this VPS? I don't need to know how to do it (yet). I'm just wondering if it is possible. (I have 2 IP addresses to my VPS. I was told the second one was for SSL, but I'm not sure if I need it?)

Hello, I already asked a similar question yesterday. A lot of views but no response, so I think I wasn't very clear. I'm going to try it again. Recently I started hosting a VPS and some domains. On the VPS, Plesk 12 in pre-installed. I used an A-record to link the domains to the VPS. This all...

Hi guys, I'm planning on hosting some websites for customers. I am using Plesk 12. So far so good. Now here's the problem. For some reason my host by default doesn't offer subdomains (unless I buy a more expensive package). Will this cause any problems? For example webmail.mydomain.com won't...

Hi, I read somewhere that I can create a domain based on a service plan. If I'm not mistaking I also read that if I change a service plan, websites based on this service plan will not change along. So is it fair to say that a service plan is an initial "template" on which a domain is...

Hello, Let's say I create a new domain/webspace www.first.com, then in this same webspace I can create a second domain www.second.com. I was wondering what the exact purpose of this construction is. Is it meant to 1) "bundle" all websites from 1 person/company into the same webspace? Or 2)...

I read this in the Plesk manual: Why does Plesk recommend the non-www version?

Hi guys, I've been using cPanel in the past and I want to switch to Plesk now (I don't use it yet). The last couple of weeks I've been "hanging around" on the forum asking questions and reading questions from other people. Also I've been (and still am) reading the Plesk 12 documentation...

Hello, I am reading the plesk documentation about "Tags Used in Notification Messages". http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/12.0/Doc/en-US/online/plesk-administrator-guide/59422.htm# It says that one can use a <password> tag which will show the user's password ("user's password...

I think it is possible, but just to be sure... Default document root is: var/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/httpdocs/ Can I change it to: var/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/web/ A simple "yes" or "no" will do...

Hello, As I already told you earlier I am a (PHP) programmer and not very familiar (yet) with managing a server, but I'm willing to learn. I want to rent a VPS with Plesk 12 but the webhosting company at this moment only offers it with CentOS version 6. So here is what I want. I would...

Hi guys, I'm about to purchase a VPS with Plesk 12, but at the moment the only available CentOS version is 6. This comes bundled with PHP 5.3, while I need at least PHP version 5.4. I think CentOS 7 has PHP 5.4? I want to use CentOs 7. Is it difficult to update from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7...

Hi guys, I'm thinking of purchasing/renting a VPS with PLESK. From the hosting company I understand that there are 2 ways to "connect" a domain to Plesk. 1. Purchase a domain name from within Plesk. 2. Purchase a domain name outside Plesk and configure DNS so it points to my VPS. The first...

Hi guys, I'm still reading documentation about Plesk to learn more about it. So far it looks good! I have a simple question. Let's say I have a "general folder" where my cms/framework files are located, for example: /var/www/cms Can any domain access this folder? Let's say I have...

Helly guys, I was wondering... what are your experiences (in general) with Plesk? I am thinking of changing from cPanel to Plesk. Is plesk easy to use, or is it complicated? Is there a learning curve? Do you often experience problems/bugs, or does everything work as it should? If...

Can someone please answer this question? If what I want is possible I will transfer to Plesk... anyone please? Hello, I hope someone can help me to decide whether it is "safe" to move from cPanel to Plesk 12. I am thinking of moving to another hosting company and changing from cPanel to...
