Question
I can choose between different types of Plesk licenses during purchase, what are their differences?
Answer
Plesk licenses come in different editions (WebAdmin, WebPro, or WebHost) and are applicable for different server types (dedicated or virtual (VPS) servers):
Server types:
- Dedicated server: As its name already says, you will have to choose this option if you want to install the license on a 'dedicated server'. So basically if you own the server and it is not shared with other services.
- VPS: This is the option that you should choose if your services are on a shared hosting or also known as a virtual server (for example OpenVZ, VMware or Xen).
Editions:
- Plesk Web Admin Edition:
is for the basic management of simple websites and your domains, without the extended tools and features. - Plesk Web Pro Edition:
is for those who need the full flexibility to build, secure and run highly optimized and customized websites. Get all the features, including the full WP Toolkit, to mass-manage and automate your projects. - Plesk Web Host Edition:
for Web Hosters to customize, provision, and manage hosting businesses. Get maximum flexibility, access to the domain management tools, and the full WP Toolkit to support your multi-tenant, “install anything” business model.
