  • 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.

Question How many customer sites per server?

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Debian 11
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.58
I was wondering how many customers can typically be hosted on one server.

Currently, I have around 750 customers on a WordPress Multisite installation that I would like to migrate to a Plesk server, with each having their own WordPress installation.

Would this setup fit on a server with the following specs:

CPU - Ryzen 5 3600
RAM - 64GB ECC
Disk - 2 x 1.92 TB in RAID1 (that's enough)

Each customer only has a few visitors a day.

Email is currently on a separate mailserver, but I could consider migrating that as well. Do you guys have any real-world experiences or best practices to share?
 
Will probably work. Maybe a bit more RAM could be a good idea, but this depends on what the websites are doing.
