Install Plesk on a VPS

To install Plesk on your VPS requires a basic understanding of the command line interface (CLI). The command line allows you to run server commands directly, giving you full control over your VPS. However, since you’ll be operating at the root level, it’s essential to use caution—incorrect commands could result in data loss.

Plesk is a good alternative to cPanel/WHM, with a similar feature set and easy-to-use interface. The Plesk licence is also a cheaper option compared to its more popular equivalent. Plesk might be a good option if you’re a reseller who is trying to cut down the cost of your operation.
