Upgrading from v8.6 to v9.2 / v9.3

[SarahW]

Hi,

I have a virtual private server with Plesk Control Panel v8.6 running on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 machine.

1. Is there a cost to upgrade to the latest version?

2. What is the procedure by which to do so?

Thanks,

Sarah.

I might as well answer my own question for prosterity sake.

The answer is that upgrades are free.

1. Go to downloads.
2. Download the 1.2 MByte download.
3. Upload to the server.
4. Execute on the server like any other Windows executable.
5. Done.

As a side comment, the product needs a v10.0 that gives functionality like other control panels that I have used, namely custom error pages that can reside anywhere and process PHP; better handling of https and http and where they reside; a better email client; and more of IIS exposed.

What is not free is support.

Back on topic. I went through the upgrade and I am now at 9.3 from 8.6 with no issues.
