What is Plesk?

In this article, we’ll introduce you to Plesk, one of the most extensively used control panels.

Introduction:

In order to be accessible to visitors on the internet, every website requires web hosting. That means that every website owner requires access to the webserver on which their website is hosted.

As an outcome, millions of people who aren’t experts at working with website servers are capable of running websites successfully using  Control panels.

A control panel for a web server provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that makes it user friendly for the average person.

Plesk is one of the two most popular server management panels, coming in second only to cPanel in terms of popularity.

Plesk is a commercial web hosting data centre automation software designed for Linux/Unix and Windows-based commercial hosting companies.

It easily manages your web hosting account through a web-based interface.

Plesk gives you the ability to handle thousands of virtual hosts from a single machine. Plesk can be used with shared, virtual private server, or dedicated hosting.

Plesk’s control panel automates a variety of processes, allowing web hosts to save money and resources while enhancing profitability, efficiency, and customer pleasure.
