  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Changing root password

Hello,

Would changing root password have any effects on how Plesk operates?

Thanks,

GS
 
NO, and it is a good practice to change the root password often. Search these forums for security and locking down a plesk box. Disallow direct login access to root via shell, change your shell access from telnet (disable) to SSH2 and then make sure you only su - to root. Lots of things to do to secure your server from hackers. This is only a start.
