Plesk Onyx (previously Parellels Plesk) is a cross-platform management software for running, automating, and developing applications, websites, or hosting structures. Since the early 2000s, the program has simplified daily tasks for system administrators, small and medium-sized businesses, and infrastructure providers. It doesn’t matter whether you want to control entire server functions, set up new user profiles, or create domains – Plesk provides the perfect basis. Using an interface accessed by the internet browser of your choice, any number of web services can be operated, controlled, and made available to user groups.
The Plesk developers place particular emphasis on security: In addition to the integrated SSL/TLS encryption, features such as the KernelCare tool (protection and updates for the system core), the Datagrid VCTR scanner (vulnerability check and software update), or the Google Authenticator (login protection via 2-factor authentication) ensure the protection of all managed services. It’s no coincidence that the management software runs on more than 377,000 servers worldwide, hosting more than 11 million websites and 19 million e-mail inboxes. Around half of the top 100 service providers rely on the merits of the Onyx product, which is available in more than 30 languages and 140 countries.
