Plesk is a hosting panel, like cPanel. It does the same job — files, e-mail, databases — with a different interface. And like cPanel, it does not replace Meu MozOut: they sit at different levels.
The three, side by side
|
What it is for |
Who uses it |
| Meu MozOut |
Your account with us: invoices, services, domains, support tickets. |
All of our clients. |
| cPanel |
The hosting panel: files, e-mail, databases, backups. |
It is the panel on our hosting plans. |
| Plesk |
The same role as cPanel, different interface. Used on Windows hosting. |
It is the panel on our Windows plans. |
Which one is ours
It depends on the plan: on Linux plans the panel is cPanel; on Windows plans it is Plesk. So if you are used to Plesk you do not have to change habits — and neither do you if you come from cPanel.
| In Plesk it is called... |
In cPanel it is... |
|
| File Manager |
File Manager |
The same, inside public_html. |
| Databases |
MySQL Databases / phpMyAdmin |
Create and administer databases. |
| Mail |
Email Accounts |
Create mailboxes, aliases and forwarders. |
| Domains > DNS |
Zone Editor |
The domain's A, MX and TXT records. |
| Backup Manager |
JetBackup |
Backups and restores. |
If you are coming from a Plesk provider
| 1 |
The site comes across: files, database and e-mail migrate without trouble.
|
|
| 2 |
The panel does not. On our side a new cPanel is created and the content goes into it.
|
|
| 3 |
Anything relying on Windows-specific features has to be checked first — tell us what the site uses.
|
|
|
Do not work in both panels for the same site. While the migration runs, editing files on both sides guarantees one copy goes stale. Pick a side, and only switch once the new one is confirmed.
|
|
Meu MozOut stays the same. Whatever the technical panel, invoices, renewals and support tickets live in Meu MozOut. That does not change.
