What is the Plesk control panel?

Plesk is a user-friendly control panel that allows the easy set up of domains, websites, email accounts, databases etc. on our VPS packages.

It allows you to install and use various services like antiviruses, mail servers, FTP servers, database servers and so on.  If you are not too familiar with setting up a webserver then we would recommend this control panel.

VM:

To see a comprehensive list of the current operating systems available select the operating system dropdown on the left of the page here.

Please note that some require extra licences, excluding the licence Plesk itself requires, and so do cost extra. 

Please note in particular that the Windows Standard Edition licence costs more than the Web Edition licence. 

We would strongly recommend one of these templates if you are not familiar with administering a server and setting up a web\mail\database server via SSH or Remote Desktop and are not familiar enough with SSH\RDP to install a web management control panel interface such as Plesk yourself.

You can remove and add plesk as needed on our VMs by changing the template (though this will wipe any content on the VM in order to apply the new template).
