[Solved] Plesk install request

[puspus]

Hello, just got my VPS setup. Would you please help install Plesk on my server?

Domain: vps118.heliohost.us

username: puspusssh

Thank you

I believe that technically Plesk can be put onto a VPS but it would add something like $15 USD/month to the VPS cost because it needs a license.

Otherwise, for free control panels, we usually recommend Hestia or KeyHelp. Both of these offer demo sites, you can see which one you prefer. The Hestia demo can be found here (look for the "Try the Demo" button) and the KeyHelp demo can be found here (look for the "View Live Demo Now" button). 

I've used them both and they feel quite similar. Hestia seems to be more popular, just from what I've seen folks asking to be added to their VPSes. One notable difference is that Hestia has a "one-click install" feature for WordPress, which may be relevant to you if you're planning on using WP. 

Please let us know if you want to explore adding Plesk for a higher cost, or which of the free ones you'd like installed. (If you're comfortable with the command line, you can install either of the free ones yourself too, as long as you haven't done anything on your VPS yet, because both control panels need a freshly-installed OS with nothing changed on it yet.)

Thank's for the info KazVee. After looking at both, I would like Hestia installed then.

Thanks

You're very welcome. 🙂 This support request is being escalated to our root admins who can install Hestia for you.

The VPS rebuild with Hestia has been started and you'll get an email in a bit when it finishes. Once you receive the email you should be able to login to Hestia at the URL https://vps118.heliohost.us:8083/login/ 

Username: admin
Password: <same as SSH>

Keep in mind the username for Hestia is admin, but your SSH/SFTP username is still puspusssh as you picked while signing up. The password for both should be the same though.
