Plesk Control Panel
Parallels Plesk Control Panel (Plesk) is a popular web hosting control panel that provides a graphical interface and automation tools designed to simplify the management of websites, mail services, databases, and hosting accounts on a server. It allows administrators and resellers to efficiently manage multiple websites and streamline hosting operations through an intuitive dashboard..
Parallels Plesk Control Panel is a commercially available web hosting control interface primarily used by hosting providers to manage shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting environments. It operates over specific ports, with 8087 often serving as an alternative or auxiliary management port, especially if the primary ports are customized or occupied.
Typically, Plesk utilizes a web-based GUI that enables users to configure DNS settings, set up email accounts, deploy web applications, manage SSL/TLS certificates, and perform backups and restoration. It integrates with various web technologies to streamline server management and supports extensions to enhance its capabilities. Communication over port 8087 generally happens via HTTP, though configurations may allow for HTTPS with encryption.
Given its broad functionality, Plesk supports both Windows and Linux platforms, offering multi-server management and compatibility with common web server software such as Apache, nginx, and IIS. The control panel architecture relies heavily on remote procedure calls and RESTful APIs, enabling automation and integration with other hosting ecosystems.
