Hello,

Planning to setup a new Plesk server these days. Should I install directly 12.5 or should I go for 12.0 and wait until 12.5 reaches the general/stable release? What do you recommend at this point?

Thank you,
Cosmin

Hi @Cosmin_Martin!

Everything depends on purpose of your server. If this is just server for your own purposes and sites I strongly recommend you to use Plesk 12.5 because it has more features. For production server with big amount of customers everything depends on you administrator skills and experience with Plesk. Anyway Plesk 12.5 is officially supported, microupdates for most issues are published very fast so it's good choice to get more features.

It was not implemented.
