Plesk or Webuzo?

I haven't used Plesk since Plesk 17 came out. I have been using Webuzo but usually have minor issues with Apache crashing despite tweaking some settings. Out of the Box Webuzo has Apache permission issues every single time with me.

The only real thing stopping me from going back to plesk, is for whatever reason the Control panel would get bogged down so bad after server being up for awhile and get to the point that its not accessible until I reboot (Sites worked fine though)

Any reason to choose one or the other?

I do like how things are a little more straight forwarded with Plesk though.

If it was up to me I'd use cPanel or Interworx but I cant afford it.

    Why not just cPanel reseller hosting?

    I run quite a few Plesk installs for clients (CentOS 7), and never have any issues that you mention, so whatever it is was probably fixed over time or resource limited. Pretty sure I get more requests for Plesk than I do cPanel now for VPS or managed clients.

    tldr; I would recommend using it if you want a panel.

    for how many website? why you should use any web panel, i think cmm and easyengine (or wait ansipress) is your alternative choices.

    out of curiosity, how resource intensive is Plesk, been looking to move 10+ clients to plesk and run off a KVM.

    Eh, I couldn't say with a bare install. All the ones I have run either single sites with big SQL or tons of WordPress installs. ExtraVM stuff runs on Plesk (incoming banter), with Apache + Nginx, MariaBD and PHP 7 my site idles at 950MB RAM and 1-5% CPU on two cores. Almost all of that memory is from SQL though.

    I didn't hate Plesk. It did what it was supposed to do, even if it had a slight learning curve- as opposed to CPanel.

    Honestly I managed 1TB+ of traffic a day on Plesk without any issue. I pushed 1.02PB of BW through plesk in 2016.

    How much RAM was your server running at that time?

    32GB and I rarely used 2GB of it

    +1 for Plesk... Have ran 100+ sites on a VM with 4GB of RAM.

    I would prefer Plesk over cPanel (or any other paid web panel). Plesk Onyx is really good. I really did not like it at all - back in 2003 - but today, I absolutely love it.

    Seeking for a VPS Plesk license... Any advice? Cheapest out there?
    Pretty excited to try Onyx though looks like their default anti spam sw isnt that good. They sell a more decent spam protection as an addon albeit even spamassassin works great if you have decent rules but I have no time to tune it that much.

    Licence cube is who I've used for the past few years. At $3.95 a month. I think that's the cheapest I've seen unless you get a provider where it's included like OVH

    Will check, thank you!

  • +1 for Plesk Onyx. Been using it for more than 6 months now and all has been almost perfect! Will choose Plesk Onyx over cPanel any day.

    I would advise you to buy directly from Plesk because I think that price difference from resellers is low. Also you will have direct support from Plesk and from my own exprience their support is good and fast. They have saved me once on a serious server issue.

    They also have a 14 day free trial
