Expand 1.1 is the new release of the hosting automation software that gives hosting providers the ability to manage multiple Plesk servers from one central location. With this release, Expand adds the ability to setup centralized Mail and DNS service, create reseller accounts, maintain license repositories, multi-lingual support, and many other powerful new capabilities that underscore the commitment to excellence Parallels has made to both hosting providers and end users.

Top Five Features include:

Centralized Mail – Hosting providers can now set up one or more dedicated mail servers for multiple Plesk servers and separate web hosting servers from mail servers. This enables increased scalability and enhanced management of the entire email infrastructure and converts Plesk into a truly multi-server/distributed control panel.

Centralized DNS – Administrators can configure one or more dedicated DNS servers for hosted Plesk servers with each Plesk server having one or more dedicated DNS servers assigned. Using dedicated DNS servers decreases loading on Plesk servers and provides system redundancy while Plesk end users are still able to edit DNS zones content.

Centralized/Distributed Reseller Account Support – Providers can create any number of resellers and delegate Plesk servers, clients and domains to reseller accounts. Each reseller has a separate login into Expand to manage all of their resources.

Centralized/Distributed License Management – Provisioning of a master key to an unlimited number of Plesk servers. The centralized repository contains all licenses ever installed on Plesk servers registered in Expand and tracks license usage, history of installed licenses and much more.

Flexible Application Management – Expand gives hosting providers the ability to view applications installed on any Plesk server as well as a combined list of all applications installed on all Plesk servers. Additionally, applications can be added into the Client Application pool directly from the Expand interface.

Additional Features:

• Group Management Capabilities – Manage large numbers of Plesk servers easily using the new grouping feature in Expand.

• Parallels Plesk Load Criteria – Different load criteria are available when you want to provision new Client or Domain on a less loaded server in a group.

• Improved IP Management – Exclude IP addresses from an existing IP pool by adding the ‘exclusion’ command in that pool.

• Manage Plesk Inside VPS – IP management is fully supported for Plesk installed inside Virtuozzo VPS.

• Domain User Permissions – Set up permissions of Domain Users directly through the Expand interface.
