If you are reading this, you have probably purchased a web hosting
account that comes bundled with Plesk, or perhaps you have installed
Plesk on your server because you want to manage websites belonging to
your organization, or those of your customers. Congratulations! You have
made the right choice. Plesk is a powerful and user-friendly tool that
enables you to perform all the day-to-day operations quickly and
efficiently. If this is your first time working with Plesk, we strongly
recommend that you start reading here. And you probably have two
questions on your mind right now:
What can Plesk do for me?
If you are a shared hosting customer, Plesk enables you to easily manage
all aspects of your web hosting account using a web interface that is
robust, but easy to learn. You can create domains, mail accounts,
databases, and much more. If you are a server administrator or a web
designer, Plesk helps you manage websites belonging to your organization
or your customers, and also comes with a powerful suite of tools you can
use to manage the server itself, as well as to configure the many
features and services of Plesk to your liking.
