  • 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.

Resolved Debian 9 vs. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS – which one to choose for server with Plesk 18?

Regular Pleskian
I will move to a new server hoster this month and I will install a completely new system with the latest Plesk. I always used Debian on my servers for almost 10 years now. I've read that Plesk currently only supports Debian 9, although Debian 10 is out for quite a while now.

Would you recommend the "old" Debian 9 for a server or should I install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, which is much newer and is supported by Plesk?

On the one hand I would like to stick with the system I know and I like the stability of Debian. On the other hand I would like to install an up-to-date version when I do a completely new installation. I know that the supported Ubuntu version is also not the latest piece of software, but much newer than the latest supported Debian.

I googled this topic and found (of course) pros and cons for both systems. If Plesk would support Debian 10, I would not ask this question, I would install Debian. But in this case I can't make a decision...
 
Thanks for your recommendation. Maybe I will try Ubuntu, currently I'm only 75% sure. ;)

EDIT: I installed Ubuntu.
