Help & Guides
Knowledge Base
Why Plesk for your root server?
A root server offers maximum control — but not everyone wants to manage their server exclusively via the command line. Plesk Obsidian bridges this gap: It combines the power of a root server with the convenience of a professional management interface. Create websites, set up email accounts, activate SSL certificates, schedule backups — all with just a few clicks.
Perfect for agencies and resellers
Plesk is especially well suited for agencies and resellers who manage multiple customers on a single server. With the integrated reseller management, you define individual packages, resource limits, and branding per customer. Your customers receive their own login and can manage their websites independently — while you maintain an overview of the entire server.
Manage WordPress professionally
The WordPress Toolkit in Plesk makes managing multiple WordPress installations a breeze. Install WordPress with one click, enable automatic updates for core, plugins, and themes, create staging environments for safe testing, and scan for security issues. Everything centrally from one dashboard — whether you run one or a hundred WordPress sites.
