Since 90% of our clients prefer to use Plesk rather than another panel, we are purchasing all our licenses from Plesk resellers.

Apparently, Plesk is charging more expensive than these guys for the only reason that they provide the support for their software. Going through the reseller usually means no support available in case of an issue.

Or the reseller would simply act as a forwarder between the customer and plesk Support?

We don't usually require support if not at all, most of the issues are easily dealt with but from time to time we would like some deeper technical information that Plesk forums will not be able to respond to.

There is absolutely no point in applying to become Partners when resellers exist, they get the licenses at so much cheaper, even cheaper than Partners unless you operate 30000 licensed servers.

We Currently use WebsoftSolus for licenses, the Web Admin VPS version comes at 6.99 Euro/mo but that reseller seems more like a ghostship as they never update their site or bother replying to tickets ( Have one open for 5 days now )

Cplicense.net are also some of the cheapest but they are not a EU company or something I would go with. Any other license supplier can be advised?

I found this could be helpful for many people looking to create multiple Plesk email accounts especially since we are getting a lot of migrations from the old Google Gsuite Legacy edition.

The script reuires a txt file where the emails must be listed 1 per line :

#!/bin/bash
while read user
do
plesk bin mail --create $user -passwd 12345@@ -mbox_quota 25000M -mailbox true
done < userfile.txt

The script may fail if your secuity standards for your passwords are too high so you may edit that 12345
@ if needed.

By default i have aligned this at 15000M or 15G to equal Legacy Google Workspace accounts.

I hope this helps

Wanted to get some advice on files to exclude for plesk backups, we don't want our backups growing exponetially with unwanted files

Is this enough ?

.gz
.jpa
*.log
*.bkup
*.sql
*.tar
*.tar.gz
*.zip

I would like to share our experience regarding Secondary DNS for Plesk server. For the moment It has been pretty straight forward to setup Slave nameservers for Plesk.

The issue is, the solution becomes totally unreliable once you have 2 master servers or more. It looks like Plesk themselves couldn't figure out issues related to rndc-keys etc for our case. We have been getting random disconnections etc...

Additionally it requires the maintenance of the nameservers slave and having them on different locations or datacenters

We found solutions such as gDNS from Admin Ahead but it looks too complicated and not that different from the Plesk Slave servers.

We want to share our solution for the community especially the ones using Plesk, we are also planning to test the solution on different Hosting panels such as cPanel.

You can go ahead and create an account at https://www.cloudns.net/

Once done, you will need to put edit a default provided PHP script that you can find on their Github Page.

Due to the multiple changes between the old script and the new one we have provided some additional information to the ClouDNS team who corrected some elements on their previous one.

You can read the article they have put together for Plesk servers. https://www.cloudns.net/wiki/article/250

We will try to do the same for cPanel very soon and update this thread.

through this you can enjoy IPV4 & IPV6 Anycast Secondary DNS and protect your Master server

Regarding the Cronjob to setup we made it run once per minute in our case due to multiple DNS zone changes and new clients. Especially that Plesk is kind of slow when it comes to SSL

We would love to hear your feedback

I think to move all my cPanel accounts to Plesk as it's cheaper.

I see they have an easy migration tool https://www.plesk.com/extensions/panel-migrator/

"PLESK WEB PRO EDITION" is the license I am looking for, any pointers?

I found this https://www.hetzner.com/add-on-product/matrix but looks like Hetzner only sells them with dedicated servers (not VPS licenses), regardless created a ticket with them to see if they can do it

Inflation
Devaluation of Currency
Just because the owners/devs want to do it
The owners/devs want their product to be "enterprise only"
And of course there can be many other reasons as well

But how much price increase do you think is fair & would not be toll on your pocket if you also get assurance that price increase for a particular software will never be more than a fixed percentage every year?

I am currently with PremiumReseller, their plans are good but they have smartermail and the limit are ridiculously low

Mailbox size limit: 250MB

http://support.premiumreseller.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/105/0/smartermail-quota-limit

I need 100GB disk, at least 15 accounts and MSSQL SERVER 2016

Looking for suggestions/recommendations

So it looks like they're trying to sell it now that they've used cPanel as a proof-of-concept to spike pricing.

If this goes through we'll see another cPanel price hike within 12 months. I'll bet dinner on that.

• Solus.io finally launches at $4/m/core with Solus VM1 set to sunset 12mo to 18mo after initial
• WHMCS sunsets lifetime licenses with the launch of v8.0. To add to the displeasure they remove the "unlimited customers" option and requires everyone pay $0.30/month/active or similar.
• More mergers/buyouts as datacenters continue to roll out products competing with their own users.
• Plesk removes their unlimited domain option.
• Directadmin prunes back the amount of OS' they support to allow them to make it easier to maintain the product.

#2 I stole from @qps.
