Plesk is one of the most widely used control panels for web servers. From its interface you create sites and domains, configure DNS, mailboxes, databases, SSL certificates and backups, without living on the command line. It runs on popular Linux distributions such as AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu and Debian, and there is also a Windows Server version.

For agencies, developers and hosting companies, Plesk means less time lost on repetitive setup and more control over each site. WP Toolkit makes managing WordPress installs simpler, and extensions add features such as Git, Docker and Node.js right inside the panel.

At cloudlinux.ro you buy your Plesk license monthly, with no yearly commitment. The license is bound to the public IPv4 address of the server and works on a VPS or dedicated server hosted with us, as well as on a server at any other provider. All you need is a free cloudlinux.ro account, and the monthly price for each edition is shown right on this page.

Sites, domains and DNS

Add domains and subdomains in a few clicks, manage DNS zones and set up redirects, aliases and web server settings for each site.

WP Toolkit for WordPress

Install, clone and update WordPress sites from one place, with security checks and staging environments depending on the edition you choose.

Email and databases

Create mailboxes, aliases and forwarders, plus MySQL or MariaDB databases with phpMyAdmin access, all from the same interface.

Free SSL certificates

Issue and auto-renew Let's Encrypt certificates for your domains so your sites run on HTTPS with no manual work.

Backup and restore

Schedule full or incremental backups, locally or to remote storage, and restore a site, a database or a mailbox whenever you need to.

Extensions and developer tools

The extension catalogue adds Git, Docker, Node.js, PHP Composer and much more, and every site can choose its own PHP version.

How ordering works

1
Order from the console
Open the Licences section of the cloudlinux.ro console, pick the Plesk edition you need and confirm. You only need a free account and credit on it.
2
For any server
Choose "a server I have here" or "my own server, anywhere". For an external server you enter its public IPv4 address and a name, and the license is bound to that IP.
3
Monthly billing from credit
You pay one month in advance from prepaid credit and the license renews automatically every month while credit allows. Cancel any time: the month already paid runs to its end and is not refunded.
4
Your key appears instantly
The license is issued instantly. The activation key appears in the console with installation steps, and add-ons such as KernelCare or Imunify360 can be attached to the same license.

Installation and activation

1
Prepare the server
Start from a clean install of an OS supported by Plesk, such as AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu or Debian, with root access. Plesk installs best on a server with no other web services configured.
2
Install Plesk
Run the official Plesk one-click installer as root. Installation usually takes a few minutes, after which you get the address to log in to the panel.
3
Activate the license
In Plesk, open License Management and enter the key from the cloudlinux.ro console. Follow the exact activation steps shown in the console next to your key, since they can differ by edition.
4
Set up your first site
Add your domain, issue an SSL certificate and, if needed, enable WP Toolkit or the extensions you want. If you ordered add-ons, activate them from the same panel.

Plesk vs cPanel: which panel fits you

Plesk and cPanel are the best-known hosting control panels, and both are solid choices. cPanel runs on RHEL-compatible distributions and on Ubuntu, and its interface is split between WHM for the administrator and cPanel for the end user. It is very common in the shared hosting industry, and many customers already know it.

Plesk uses a single interface that adapts to the role: administrator, reseller or customer. It runs on AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu and Debian, and its Windows Server version makes it one of the few options for ASP.NET sites. WP Toolkit and the extension catalogue for Git, Docker and Node.js make it popular with agencies and developers. The right choice depends on your preferred operating system, what your customers already know and which licensing model suits your number of accounts. Both panels also work with CloudLinux OS for account isolation.

VPS edition or dedicated server edition

Plesk licenses virtual and physical servers differently. VPS editions are meant for virtual machines, such as a cloud VPS, and cannot be used on a physical server. Editions without VPS in the name are for dedicated servers, meaning hardware where the operating system runs directly. If you activate a VPS edition on a physical server, activation may fail.

The simple rule: if your server is a VPS, with us or elsewhere, choose a VPS edition. If you have a dedicated server, including one of the cloudlinux.ro dedicated servers, choose the edition without VPS. Within each group, Web Admin is for a few of your own sites, Web Pro adds customer accounts and more domains, and Web Host offers unlimited domains and reseller accounts. Because you pay monthly, you can switch edition when your needs change by cancelling the old license and ordering a new one.

WP Toolkit and WordPress security

WordPress powers a large share of the web, which makes it a frequent target. Plesk's WP Toolkit gathers every WordPress install on the server into one screen: you see versions, plugins and themes, apply bulk updates and run security checks that harden the configuration, for example file permissions or access to sensitive files.

In the higher editions WP Toolkit adds features such as cloning a site into a staging environment, syncing changes back to production and smart updates that check whether the site still looks the same after an update. For extra server-level protection you can add Imunify360 or ImunifyAV+ to the same Plesk license for malware scanning and a firewall, while KernelCare applies kernel security patches without a reboot.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a server with cloudlinux.ro to buy a Plesk license?

No. The license works on any server with a public IPv4 address, whether it is hosted with us, at another provider or in your office. You only need a free cloudlinux.ro account and enough credit for the first month.

How much is a monthly Plesk license?

The monthly price of each edition is shown on this page and updated automatically. Prices exclude VAT. You pay one month in advance from prepaid credit, and the license renews automatically as long as you have enough credit.

What is the difference between Web Admin, Web Pro and Web Host?

Web Admin is for a few of your own sites, with no customer accounts. Web Pro allows more domains and separate customer accounts, with the full WP Toolkit. Web Host offers unlimited domains and reseller accounts, which suits hosting companies.

Can I use a Plesk VPS license on a dedicated server?

No. VPS editions are licensed for virtual servers. For a physical server, pick one of the editions without VPS in the name. If you are not sure which type of server you have, ask your provider or open a ticket with us.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes, from the console, whenever you like. The month already paid runs to its end and the license does not renew afterwards. The current month is not refunded.

Which add-ons can I attach to a Plesk license?

You can add KernelCare, Imunify360 (1 user, 30 users or unlimited), ImunifyAV+ and Softaculous. Add-ons attach to a Plesk license bought from us for the same server and are also billed monthly.

What happens if my server IP changes?

The license is bound to a single public IPv4 address, so it will not be valid on a new address. Open a support ticket before the change and we will help you find the simplest option.

What support do I get?

We provide support through tickets, in Romanian and English, for license issuing, activation, add-ons and billing. For advanced panel configuration we can point you to the official Plesk documentation and the right steps for your server.
