"All-in-One, Easy-to-Use Platform for Deployment, Monitoring, and Website Management"
What do you like best about Plesk?

It is one of the best website and deployement tool i have used. Not providing only just one features but its like a suite of features with one single easy to use platform that helps to manage websites, servers not only the deployement is covered but also monitoring is also done on same platform. The plesk 360 platform is very cleanly designed and also new webpros platform is also there. I have been using it frequently from past few months and i found many new features to learn that i don't understand earlier. It can be easily integrated with other third party tools and the plugins can also be installed based on the need. It can handle not only custom coded website but also the wordpress website . The customer support is also there to resolve the issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plesk?

One of the best thing that i would like to mention that to test all their features and get the familiarity of their platform they provide the free trial that gives enough time to completely check their features. I would like to add that video tutorials can be more helpful for the beginners who don't want to read documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean, Unified Dashboard for Easy Server & Website Management"
What do you like best about Plesk?

What I like best about Plesk is its clean, unified interface that makes server and website management simple and efficient.

It allows easy handling of domains, emails, databases, DNS, and SSL from a single dashboard.

Plesk also offers strong built-in security like Let’s Encrypt, firewalls, and malware protection.

Its support for both Linux and Windows servers makes it flexible for different hosting needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plesk?

What I dislike about Plesk is that it can feel resource-heavy, especially on smaller or low-spec servers. Some advanced features depend on paid extensions, which increases overall cost.

The licensing model can become expensive as the number of domains grows.

Occasionally, updates or extensions may cause compatibility or stability issues.

For advanced custom server configurations, manual control is more limited compared to pure command-line setups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best control panel for managing servers and hosting"
What do you like best about Plesk?

I have been using Plesk for 15 years, starting from the early versions, and it has always been a reliable ally. Over the years, it has evolved alongside technology and has allowed me to optimize the management of my servers (Windows Server) and hosting.

It enables me to automate many recurring tasks such as backups and, today, it is compatible with major storage providers . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plesk?

It lacks a wide selection of plugins and falls short in terms of security features. A more advanced software firewall would be ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hosting control panel"
What do you like best about Plesk?

I’ve been working with Plesk for server management across multiple client projects, and while it’s established itself as a major player in the hosting control panel space, the experience has been mixed at best.

Its unified dashboard handles site deployment, security configurations, database administration, and SSL management efficiently. The interface simplifies complex server tasks through intuitive controls, making it accessible even for less technical users.

Centralized management works consistently across server environments, allowing unified control over domains, applications, and security protocols without switching interfaces. The automation capabilities handle tasks like one-click WordPress deployments and bulk SSL installations reliably, reducing manual configuration time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plesk?

Pricing structure becomes prohibitive at scale, with annual increases and premium extensions significantly raising costs.

Resource management struggles on lower-tier servers, occasionally causing performance bottlenecks during peak loads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Plesk Administrator"
What do you like best about Plesk?

It allows me to manage multiple sites, applications, security, and performance from one dashboard—whether on Linux or Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plesk?

While Plesk offers a lot of features, the cost can add up—especially when you scale or need premium extensions. It’s not the most budget-friendly option for small projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good choice for administrating Wordpress sites."
What do you like best about Plesk?

Plesk Obsidian has such an easy panel to update server components with latest fixes and additions for the panel itself and a big extension marketplace fullfill our needs. My favourite is WP Toolkit as it informs us for outdated Wordpress extensions and make it more secure with just a few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plesk?

Obtaining free ssl (letsencrypt) is just tricky, they should implement an easy one click free ssl button to the panel instead of driving us into SSL menu, i have lost my way on it several times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Plesk: The best server management platform for Linux"
What do you like best about Plesk?

I've used a lot of web services in my career but Plesk is a platform that I am not going to let go. Managing hundreds on website instances, configuring servers, generating backups and updating WordPress plugins have never been so easy. It's centralized, secured in the cloud and reliable at all times. Best, we could install our Plesk server within minutes be it with IONOS Cloud or Google Cloud. Customer support is knowledgeable, kind and professional all the way. While we use Plesk daily, our major updrades are quarterly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plesk?

Many of the add-ons are costly and it would be appreciated if a subscription package could be made available to get access to all of them at an affordable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
