Question Massive price increase for reseller licenses?

[Alejandro Oro Vojacek]

Open Lite Speed hands down beat the hell out of nginx + apache in the way they are setup in Plesk.
Same identical server that hold 200 domains on Plesk (most of them on NGINX) were hitting 50% of the CPU on a Ryzen 5 5600.
Same identical server with those 200 domains on Webuzo with Open Lite Speed and I get less than 20% of CPU usage.

This is because Plesk made it so difficult to use native nginx, even when you have EVERYTHING setup properly, there will be sites that ends up using the proxy. So you are never 100% in control of what happens.

I already tried going domain by domain and pushing an NGINX only setup. Also tried making sure that the subscriptions attached to the user were not using any proxy, but Plesk insist on enabling the proxy from time to time and I completely lost any hope they are going to fix it.

With Open Lite Speed it's just Open Lite Speed, there is no margin of error to call upon Apache or any other webserver and the way it handles the LSPHP processes is way more efficient. I won't go into details. Suffice to say, at the end of the day, those same servers are more efficient and allows my customers to run more snappy installations due to less overhead on the background.

Well, I just canceled all remaining Plesk subscriptions as a direct countermeasure of their (in my case) completely unjustified price increases. My next payment was in two months. I have already absorbed two (or three) price increases over the years of using Plesk. And I haven't seen or "felt" any improvement they are speaking about as a justification for their price increases.

The fact that they used the same newsletter template from the past year to send me such notice made me feel like a lowlife and I took it personally even though I rarely mix emotions with business.

If the sign of them not being able to invest in a new design for a friggin newsletter that will upset 99% of their userbase - is not pure evidence of questionable tactic of "saving" and adding burden on their existing customers and a telltale story of what we can expect from them in the future - I don't know what is.

I have two months to test Webuzo or ApisCP. These filtered out as favorites (for my line of work).

Goodbye boys. Farewell.
