Introduction
Plesk is a commercial web hosting automation software designed for commercial hosting service providers. Compatible with both Linux and Windows hosting services, Plesk allows for the installation and management of web hosting systems and applications on a single server. The control panel simplifies the management and administration of websites by automating various tasks.
With Plesk's web-based interface, server administrators can set up new websites, reseller accounts, email accounts, and DNS entries. Administrators can also create client and site templates to predetermine resource allocation parameters for domains and clients.
