  • 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.

We hope you’ve had a chance to get on the bandwagon and have a look at the Plesk Security Course . You can find all you need to know about this newest addition in our Plesk University catalogue. Then take the course for free! You’ll join our booming number of users who are learning to get tip-top security while working with our platform.


But if you’ve only got a few minutes, we’ll give you a quick one-minute guide for creating your own free SSL certificates in just a few clicks. Welcome to Let’s Encrypt – one of our best-rated Plesk extensions. This certificate authority (CA) gives all Plesk users the power to get a free certificate for each domain they own.

Let’s Encrypt: Protect your website in 3 steps


In our final security video, you’ll see how this handy Plesk extension makes you more reliable. Because with Let’s Encrypt, you’re not just encrypting the connection between the website and the visitor’s browser. You’re also displaying your website as trusted.

Video: 1:03 minutes


As a result, visitors will not see a warning about the certificate’s authenticity. This tops self-signed certificates (free but not trusted), especially when securing an E-commerce website.

Let’s Encrypt not only issues free SSL certificates, but also provides the tools to recall and renew them. Something that should save system administrators loads of time and effort.

What’s Going on in this Video


1. When you create a new domain, subscription or subdomain – you can protect them immediately with Let’s Encrypt certificate.

2. For already existing domains, open the domain’s toolbox and click Let’s Encrypt. Select whether you want to protect www. and webmail. subdomains, as well as any aliases of the domain.

3. To protect your platform and mail server, go to Tools & Settings > SSL certificates. And create a new Let’s Encrypt certificate.

Let’s Encrypt Key Features

  • Works out of the box, no setup or CLI commands required
  • Signing of SSL certificates for domains and subdomains
  • Automatic renewal of all certificates
  • Additional domains are now supported
  • Can create a cert for the Plesk panel itself

So give all your sites and apps a secure and trusted certificate with this free Plesk extension. And let us know how it goes in the comments below!
