Many website hosting companies, website developers, digital agencies IT administrators and content managers that VPS Blocks works with choose to use the Plesk Control Panel to manage their VPS server. And there are good reasons why.
Plesk is a free open-source control panel that is compatible across all virtualisation and container platforms. It supports both windows and Linux servers and uses the same graphical interface for each, so you can switch backwards and forwards between environments without needing to adjust how you do things.
It’s very reliable and fast, with lots of available extensions and templates to make various tasks simple and quick.
