  • 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.

    Question Plesk Web Pro with +133% price increase?

    With so many free webhosting managers out there now, is makes no sense for individual or self-hosting users to subject themselves to the costs of Plesk.

    Issue Latest update froze my servers

    I did not - there was nothing in the logs or otherwise to explain the service interruption. My VPS control panel identified the server as 'online', though I was not able to ping the server locally - I restarted and everything was back to normal

    Issue Latest update froze my servers

    A recent Plesk update also froze my server, forcing me to reset as well. Thankfully, I was able to catch it sooner than later, and it was at a time where my server activity was at a bare minimum, and so no harm done.

    Question Possible to secure Plesk with Origin SSL?

    Hi IgorG, I opened a ticket with Plesk a few days ago on this, though the effort appears to have stalled. That said, I've come-up with a new strategy, by applying a DV SSL Certificate, and in-hopes of narrowing other potential causes. PS. the testserver is a throw-away, and so no worries...

    Issue Let's Encrypt failed before issuing acme challenge code
