• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Supportability of older OS and Plesk versions

Greetings,

I've just inherited several Plesk machines: 7.5.4 on FreeBSD 5.3, 8.4.0 on CentOS 4.2, and 8.6.0 on CentOS 5.3.

Firstly, I need to find the end-of-life status of these versions of Plesk, along with the greatest free upgrade path I can pursue for each version (service packs, minor upgrades, etc.). My first goal is to get the installations as up-to-date as I can before spending money on major upgrades.

Second, can I upgrade the operating systems to their latest minor revision and still be supported (such as to FreeBSD 5.5 and CentOS 5.5 and 4.9)? In particular, FreeBSD 5.x was EOLed long ago, so I'd love to be able to upgrade the OS to 7.x or even 8.x, not only for continued security patches, but also newer features (such as ZFS). Is this supported? If not, is anyone running on newer versions anyway and using FreeBSD's backward-compatibility feature to do so?

Thanks.

PS -- Does anyone know what FreeBSD version Plesk v10 will be supporting later this year?

PPS -- Is there a product to centrally manage multiple Plesk installations and migrate accounts/domains between servers?
