Jun 26, 2003 : SWsoft Launches Plesk Control Panel 6

📅 June 26, 2003 - SWsoft (sw-soft.com) announced today the launch of Plesk (plesk.com) Control Panel 6, the newest version of the popular control panel. The latest version includes new anti-spam features, enhanced Internet security and advanced traffic accounting.

According to SWsoft, Plesk Control Panel 6 can provide secure Web, e-mail and file transfer capability to a base of over 50 million mail users and over two million domains.
?While other software companies seek to resolve the problem of unsolicited e-mail, or spam, with lawsuits, we?ve developed ways to dramatically reduce spam with technology on the mail server side, and considering that Plesk manages over 50 million mail accounts we may actually hit spammers pretty hard,? said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft. ?Combined with our new security features, Plesk 6 offers an affordable enterprise-class level of protection to service provider customers plagued by spam and vulnerable to hackers.?
Plesk 6 offers new features for both providers and users, including domain level back-up and restore, multiple IP name-based hosting, Java application server support using Tomcat, improved Webmail capabilities, enhanced event manger capabilities, and action logs.
Other new features include an auto installation interface, client template creation, hard limits on disk space, WAP support for mobile Internet devices such as mobile telephones and PDAs, enhanced localized language selection, support for management of PostgreSQL in addition to MySQL, and a management interface for the mailman mailing list system.
Plesk, a hosting automation firm, was acquired by SWsoft on June 9.
Plesk 6 is available through hosting provider partners or directly from SWsoft. The Plesk 6 solution is also available under a new Plesk Lease Program starting from $19 per month per server.
