Plesk control pannel limitations


When you purchase a hosting plan with a control panel you expect it to make your life easier.

Well it has not been my case, I got a server hosting with plesk control panel. First, plesk works with qmail, which is a little hard to configure. If you try to install other applications besides the ones that work with plesk, it might get corrupted as it happened to me.

I installed postfix with dovecot, but I had to remove courier-imap, after removing courier-imap, plesk stoped working.

So if you plan getting a server with a control panel I recommend you to search the web for limitations, and some other features your control panel might have.

Maybe swsoft improves plesk in the short future. It would be good to have a control panel that would allow you to configure (postfix, sendmail, qmail, etc) in such a way that with a few clicks you can multiple virtual domains running on a machine configure with plesk.
