All-in-One, Easy-to-Use Platform for Deployment, Monitoring, and Website Management
What do you like best about the product?
It is one of the best website and deployement tool i have used. Not providing only just one features but its like a suite of features with one single easy to use platform that helps to manage websites, servers not only the deployement is covered but also monitoring is also done on same platform. The plesk 360 platform is very cleanly designed and also new webpros platform is also there. I have been using it frequently from past few months and i found many new features to learn that i don't understand earlier. It can be easily integrated with other third party tools and the plugins can also be installed based on the need. It can handle not only custom coded website but also the wordpress website . The customer support is also there to resolve the issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the best thing that i would like to mention that to test all their features and get the familiarity of their platform they provide the free trial that gives enough time to completely check their features. I would like to add that video tutorials can be more helpful for the beginners who don't want to read documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it to serve the hosting of the websites including the custom coded website and the wordpress website to make them live on the internet. The 360 platform is very fast and also deployment is fast and easy to perform.
Clean, Unified Dashboard for Easy Server & Website Management
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Plesk is its clean, unified interface that makes server and website management simple and efficient.
It allows easy handling of domains, emails, databases, DNS, and SSL from a single dashboard.
Plesk also offers strong built-in security like Let’s Encrypt, firewalls, and malware protection.
Its support for both Linux and Windows servers makes it flexible for different hosting needs.

Its support for both Linux and Windows servers makes it flexible for different hosting needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Plesk is that it can feel resource-heavy, especially on smaller or low-spec servers. Some advanced features depend on paid extensions, which increases overall cost.
The licensing model can become expensive as the number of domains grows.
Occasionally, updates or extensions may cause compatibility or stability issues.
For advanced custom server configurations, manual control is more limited compared to pure command-line setups.

For advanced custom server configurations, manual control is more limited compared to pure command-line setups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Plesk solves the problem of complex and time-consuming server administration by bringing all hosting tasks into a single, easy-to-use control panel.
It reduces manual effort in managing websites, databases, emails, DNS, and SSL, saving time and minimizing errors. Automated tools for WordPress management, backups, and security improve reliability and consistency. This benefits me by speeding up deployments, reducing operational overhead, and allowing me to focus more on application and business work instead of server maintenance.

The best control panel for managing servers and hosting
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Plesk for 15 years, starting from the early versions, and it has always been a reliable ally. Over the years, it has evolved alongside technology and has allowed me to optimize the management of my servers (Windows Server) and hosting.
It enables me to automate many recurring tasks such as backups and, today, it is compatible with major storage providers .

What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks a wide selection of plugins and falls short in terms of security features. A more advanced software firewall would be ideal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Plesk is helping me simplify and centralize server and hosting management. It reduces the time spent on repetitive tasks such as creating accounts, managing domains, and scheduling backups.
Hosting control panel
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve been working with Plesk for server management across multiple client projects, and while it’s established itself as a major player in the hosting control panel space, the experience has been mixed at best.
Its unified dashboard handles site deployment, security configurations, database administration, and SSL management efficiently. The interface simplifies complex server tasks through intuitive controls, making it accessible even for less technical users.
Centralized management works consistently across server environments, allowing unified control over domains, applications, and security protocols without switching interfaces. The automation capabilities handle tasks like one-click WordPress deployments and bulk SSL installations reliably, reducing manual configuration time.

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing structure becomes prohibitive at scale, with annual increases and premium extensions significantly raising costs.
Resource management struggles on lower-tier servers, occasionally causing performance bottlenecks during peak loads.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating server management tasks into a single platform eliminated our need for fragmented tools, reducing administrative overhead.
The standardized interface accelerated onboarding for junior IT staff while maintaining enterprise-grade security protocols. However, budget constraints emerged as the primary operational hurdle due to unpredictable licensing costs.

It allows me to manage multiple sites, applications, security, and performance from one dashboard—whether on Linux or Windows.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Plesk offers a lot of features, the cost can add up—especially when you scale or need premium extensions. It’s not the most budget-friendly option for small projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Plesk consolidates everything into a single, user-friendly interface. This simplifies routine tasks like deploying websites, creating databases, managing DNS, and installing SSL certificates—all from one place.
Plesk: The best server management platform for Linux
What do you like best about the product?
I've used a lot of web services in my career but Plesk is a platform that I am not going to let go. Managing hundreds on website instances, configuring servers, generating backups and updating WordPress plugins have never been so easy. It's centralized, secured in the cloud and reliable at all times. Best, we could install our Plesk server within minutes be it with IONOS Cloud or Google Cloud. Customer support is knowledgeable, kind and professional all the way. While we use Plesk daily, our major updrades are quarterly.

Many of the add-ons are costly and it would be appreciated if a subscription package could be made available to get access to all of them at an affordable price.
