The Features and Benefits of Plesk

While cPanel may be the most easily recognized control panel on the market, it is not necessarily the right choice for every web hosting provider or reseller.  Plesk, offered by Parallels, is another fantastic option and one that is well worth considering.  It has a cheaper bottom line than cPanel, which certainly increases its appeal, and it also has a very clean interface that many users find much simpler to figure out than cPanel and some of the other big name control panels on the market.  It operates cleanly from within both the Windows and Linux environments and is perhaps the most stable control panel on the market, all things worth considering.

Plesk also integrates incredibly easily with WHMCS, which allows customers to easily promote their hosting services while relying on WHMCS to provide the bulk of the hard work and eliminating the need for manual provisioning.  Plesk also provides the ability to easily and seamlessly move accounts from other control panels and supports a wide range of different languages, which makes it ideal for companies that service multiple countries.  Security is provided through HTTPS, which is also a major plus for Plesk, especially for businesses who intend to make use of the Plesk Billing Software.

Plesk really does have a lot to offer.  Whether or not it is the right control panel software for you is something you will have to decide, but it is certainly quite beneficial in many ways.  With an unlimited license, it even includes billing software and a sitebuilder, as well as the ability to install Softaculous for simple installation of scripts.  The bottom line is that for many Plesk is an ideal option, especially when integrated with WHMCS, and it is certainly something that most hosting providers and resellers will want to take the time to consider.
