Best way to Upgrade to 8.6

[qcomm]

I am currently running Plesk 8.2, without too many issues. I would like to move up to 9.0 but I haven't heard to many good things about it. I have heard that 8.6 is very stable. I have also gone through a horrendous upgrade from 8.0 to 8.2, which make me very nervous when it come to upgrading Plesk. So I would like to pose this question to everyone out there who has upgraded in the past:

What is the best way to upgrade Plesk?

Opinions?

Hi qcomm,

Yeah thats true, Plesk 8.6 is a very stable release and most importantly its user friendly as compared to Plesk 9
Ofcourse 9 is a advanced version but its not user friendly, you will need to spend some time to search each and every option in 9. Backup is one of the most issue in Plesk 9.

Regards,
sysadmin

Hello,

It is possible to upgrade the Parallels Plesk Panel (PP) version 8.2 through GUI or through Command Line Interface. Please, check the following article for the upgrade through GUI:
