We recently moved our server to Rackspace where they use Plesk. Our previous server used DirectAdmin and before that, CPanel.
I must say that I am very dissapointed with the Plesk system. It is very poorly thought out.
Here are my complaints:
1. Backups cause downtime (very significant downtime). In DirectAdmin and CPanel, I could run a backup without worrying about downtime. Now, I cannot do backups, because I cannot afford the downtime.
2. Website backups cannot be done serverwide or clientwide. Instead they have to be done on a per website basis.
3. PhpMyAdmin cannot be accessed without going thru Plesk.
4. PhpMyAdmin only displays one database at a time. It wont even show other databases from the SAME website. Furthermore it is SSL, so it is very slow. I had to install a stand alone phpMyAdmin so that I could work without pulling my hair out.
5. Webmail doesn't work with PHP v5 installed.
I hope someone can prove me wrong or show me some solutions to these problems.
