Plesk Continues to Garner Support for Improved Control Panel
Plesk is a well known operating panel, however it has yet to grab the user share of some more popular options such as cPanel. However, Plesk has continued to improve and is starting to gain ground. When choosing an operating system it is important to understand what you are looking for and how tech-savvy you plan on being. Here is a quick overview so that you know what to expect when you decide to start using Plesk as your control panel.
Highlights:
1. User Interface
While this subject can be debated, Plesk offers users a simple user interface. It is clean and simplistic in design which makes it very friendly, especially for new users. It has been designed to be easy to navigate and very intuitive to use from the very first moment.
2. Cost-Efficient
Plesk has proved to be a very cost-efficient option, especially if a large, complicated system is not needed by the administrator. It has many different options ranging from a 30 domain license to unlimited domain licenses. This has made it a popular option for people who are choosing an comtrol panel for the first time.
3. Compatibility
Plesk has two distinct versions that makes the overall management process much more simple. Linux and UNIX are the two systems that are primarily used for Plesk implementation. However, it has also been designed to work with Windows as well.
Plesk Drawbacks:
1. Features
Plesk has been widely criticized for the lack of features that come standard with the control panel. For example, Plesk does not have an equivalent to Fantastico which has become a “must” for many people deciding on what control panel to use.
2. Insufficient Data Storage
Because Plesk saves files only to the server disk, insufficient data storage can always become a problem for large files. This means that server administrators must backup their files often which can lead to storage insufficiencies or the waste of space from improper storage.
3. Odd Restrictions
There are several built-in restrictions on users trying to access several applications. While this can be easily overcome, it is simply unnecessary in the first place. A first-time user may find removing or altering these restrictions not only difficult, but more importantly time-consuming.
4. Security
Security problems have surrounded the Plesk control panel for several years. However, this does not mean that the problems are unique to Plesk or that they create large additional risks when compared to similar control panels. It is important to point out that these security concerns primarily surround the control panel in regards to shared hosting.
The Plesk control panel continues to draw in new customers because of its prices and user-friendliness. Plesk makes administering website simple and for someone looking for inexpensive, uncomplicated control a great option.
