  • 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.

What’s Going on in this Video


The Security Advisor Extension comes pre-installed with your Plesk control panel and is available right from the Home screen. You’ll get 3 tabs to manage: Domains, WordPress and System.

  1. First, you’ll see how Security Advisor helps you protect all of your website domains with Let’s Encrypt! SSL certificates. All this with a click of a button.
  2. We’ll show you how to switch your WordPress websites to HTTPS. But note that if WordPress was installed by means of WordPress Toolkit, they’re already switched to HTTPS.
  3. The System tab advises you to allow server protections – enable HTTPS/2 and protect Plesk control panel itself with a Let’s Encrypt! certificate. Also, installing third-party security extensions.

In the end, you’ll be protecting Plesk and all your website domain using the same helpful extension – the Security Advisor.

Security Advisor Key Features

  • One-click SSL
  • One-click HTTP/2
