  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Question (CloudLinux, Plesk Obsidian) LSPHP7.x alt-php FastCGI vs. 7.x FPM application, which is the better?

Hello,
last month I've switched my cloud server on CloudLinux (previously it was on Debian) and my hosting provider suggested to me to enable Mod_Isapi and "LSPHP7.3 alt-php FastCGI" handler, instead of FPM included with Plesk.

Honestly I don't see much difference, indeed with FPM the performances seemed the same (or better).
Has anyone had any experience with Mod_Isapi and LSPHP handler?
"LSPHPx.x alt-php FastCGI" has other advantages respect to FPM (e.g. security, php memory, etc.)?

Also, I'm using WordPress Toolkit with "Caching (nginx)" enabled (default settings) but I can't see any improvement with the loading speed... is necessary to have the FPM handler or "Caching (nginx)" works good also with "LSPHP7.x alt-php FastCGI"?

Finally, anyone knows when the version "LSPHP7.4 alt-php FastCGI" will be available?
I've upgraded to Plesk Obsidian also for the version 7.4 of PHP and now it's very frustrating not being able to use it.
Thanks!
