New Pleskian
Hello everyone
I run several WordPresses for my customers, our scope is not to bother them with the underlying technology. Sadly Plesk has a lot of issues like the very complex web interface, the lack of mail-autoconfigure and others.
Due to issues with my Provider I’m forced to change the underlying Servers, where another Limitation kicks in: The lack of Domain-specific mail-certificates. So every Server change requires the users to change their mail-settings: NoGo.
Now I thought about this and want to ask, if someone sees an issue or has experiences with this setup:
The idea is to use one Plesk only for mail and the others for web.
Numbers: I can see 30 Domains being web-served by one Server and 90 Domains being Email-served from one server. So, 90 Domains require 4 Servers (3x Plesk 30-License and one Plesk unlimited). The one Mailserver can easily be scaled up, it’s more a matter of Disk than anything else.
We just Install one particular Domain on the Web-Plesk AND on the Mail-Plesk, DNS does the rest. The Users only log into the Mailservers Web interface and are not disturbed by a ton of menus they can’t do anything in (PHP, Hosting, you name it). Each user is given the same Mail-Config (mail.mydomain.com), we can move the WordPress around, in case of anything.
I’m chewing on this for a while and ask if someone has any thoughts on this idea.
Thanks a lot
