Whether you're dealing with an app, a website, or a business infrastructure, Plesk helps your IT department simplify and automate the process of growing and maintaining the systems in place. Plesk is a hosting control panel that can scale to the demands of their users, all in one intuitive dashboard. They'll follow you through the entire process, from the early stages of developing your project through making sure it remains safe, secure, and functional for all of your users. The core feature set for Plesk is rich and fully realized. Plesk owners can make use of the Horde email service to keep all their conversations internal and secured, and their website builder allows you to put together a professional and eye catching site even if you aren't a skilled HTML, CSS, and JavaScript developer. They offer a number of different site builders catered to the specific needs of their wide range of customers. When it comes to managing your internal data, Plesk really shines. Their file manager allows you to edit, manage, and backup your files and folders while always keeping an eye towards your disk space usage, while domain management allows you to easily keep track of all your domains and subdomains and make sure that all the aspects of your site are running smoothly together. Database migration and management is equally as smooth. Broad security features and a selection of self-repair tools further round out the core package for Plesk users. Plesk's catalogs add a whole new level of convenient versatility to your sites or apps. Their application catalog allows you to integrate a wide variety of third party services directly into your project, while their extension catalog draws from big names like GitHub, Docker, and WordPress Toolkit. Plesk's desktop software runs in tandem with their mobile apps, letting users have access to all the tools they need even if they're away from the office. While Plesk is a powerful tool for any business project, the benefits are magnified for IT professionals. Automation takes center stage here with versatile and intuitive task scheduling options and migration tools that never require you to dig in to the command line interface. Managing your users is a simple affair. User accounts can be provided credentials individually, or users can be classified into user roles or subscriptions to handle assignations in bulk. Administrators have a large amount of leverage in how they tailor these groups. Subscriptions are the top down variable, letting you assign defined resources and services that subscribers have access to, while user groups let you determine the access level of anyone within these subscriptions. Plesk also provides tools for developers. Their ready to code environment supports JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Perl, Javascript, .NET, Node.js and PHP, and you can even perform operations on Plesk objects directly through the command line interface.
