Plesk is the other classic web-hosting control panel, managing sites, mail, DNS, and databases on both Linux and Windows servers, which remains its key differentiator from cPanel. Its WordPress Toolkit adds staging, cloning, and hardening workflows on any server it manages. Like cPanel it is owned by WebPros and licensed in tiers by domain count. It suits hosts and agencies that need Windows coverage or prefer its cleaner single-panel model.
