Plesk 8 Upgrade

Real Estate Webmasters has upgraded one of our Rackspace servers to use Plesk 8. It went really well and did not cause any noticable downtime. Some of the new features are pretty cool. The one feature that I was most interested in was the Interface Control Management. Plesk 8 introduces the concept of client interface templates, which eliminates the need to adjust interface settings on a per-client basis. This can considerably speed up your client interface management.

SOA DNS records management

This feature is cool as previously with Plesk we could not easily manage DNS Settings TTL's and other DNS fine-tuning options. I'll update this entry with the Advantages and Disadvantages of using Plesk as a control panel.
