Today, a lot of web hosting providers use control panels like Parallels Panel in order to manage web hosting on a single server. Typically, such servers are administrated separately, so server maintenance costs grow with each new added server. To reduce costs and simplify server maintenance, Parallels now offers shared hosters enterprise-grade Parallels Plesk Automation.

You may have started your hosting business on a single server, but if your business is growing, you’ll soon find that a single-server approach just isn’t efficient. Each time you add a new server to accommodate your growing client base, you end up duplicating web, mail, database, and DNS services across more servers. Managing all those servers is both time-consuming and expensive.

Parallels Plesk Automation offers a better approach. A scalable, multi-server solution for shared hosting, Parallels Plesk Automation lets you dedicate each server to a single workload (web, mail, database, or DNS), while managing them all from an intuitive, customizable central panel. It’s also the only solution that offers both Linux and Windows hosting and lets you manage both through the same user interface. And, with the ability to support thousands of customers on hundreds of servers, it gives you the operational efficiency, scalability, and performance you need to rapidly grow your business.

One server at a time.
Add new nodes in just minutes.

Take advantage of the same easy-to-use interface you and your customers already know with Parallels Plesk Panel. And give your customers easy access to all their services with a single, integrated control panel that works across all supported technologies, on both Linux and Windows servers.

And it’s designed from the ground up with improved security in mind to limit your vulnerability to attack by isolating production workloads from each other and from the management panel. Backed by industrial-grade, 256-bit password encryption for all layers of Parallels Plesk Panel, including FTP, database, and email.

With one pane of glass. Control hundreds of servers.
