• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

Answer information about Migration

New Pleskian
Hi all.
At the moment we are running an outdated Plesk Panel installation (Version 8.3) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. In the near future we would like to migrate the hosted websites (arround 70 domains) onto a completely new server installation. Actually we don't know yet whether we will install Plesk on Linux again or on a Windows machine.
To plan our migration we have several questions about the migration process.

Our questions:
- Do we need a second Plesk Panel license while we the websites are beeing migrated?
- Is it possible to use the currently used Unix license key on a new Windows installation?
- Would it be possible to migrate with the on-board Migration Tool from our 8.3 Unix Version to 9.5 Windows Version, or are any intermediate steps necessary? I think the migration from Unix 8.3 to Unix 9.5 is possible with the migration tool, isn't it?
- Are there any functional restrictions between the Unix and Windows Plesk Panel Version? e.g. the usage of MySQL on Windows.

Thanks in advance for your help and explanations.

Best Regards
G9!
