Question

Why is Plesk not free to use with DigitalOcean ?

Control Panels

Hi,
Most of the cloud providers are offering free Plesk Onyx Control Panel which makes it really easy for people like me to start hosting websites really easily.
I am so obsessed with Digital Ocean that i keep using trial versions of Plesk just to stay with Digital Ocean. Why is Digital Ocean not providing Plesk free of cost ?

Hey friend!

Honestly, I’ve never even thought about it. I imagine many others inside DO would say the same. It’s a cool idea. No guarantees, but I’m happy to share the idea internally and see what (if anything) comes of it.

Edit: Plesk one-click image, with free license for 3 domains (upgradable), is now live. You can read more about this here: https://www.plesk.com/blog/product-technology/deploying-plesk-onyx-digitalocean-now-easier-ever/

Hello,

correct - Plesk has now published a one-click app based on DO’s Ubuntu 18.x environment. When you launch a droplet, just go to one-click apps -> Plesk on Ubuntu 18.x . It will take you about 1min to deploy after the post-install configuration of Plesk.

And yes, it’s a full Plesk version - with some limitations. But for any basic website project, it should be more than enough :-)

To see the full list of limitations (and how you can switch to a full Plesk on DO), please check https://www.plesk.com/upgrade/

thank you

Lukas

Its Good News
Digital Ocean is providing Plesk panel as FREE upto 3 domains since 2019.

Plesk on DigitalOcean (free) includes Plesk Web Admin Edition SE, a free version of Plesk with up to 3 domains and good for small websites and certain limitations. You can anytime upgrade with Plesk higher versions.

You can follow this official documentation for easier implementation.
https://www.plesk.com/blog/product-technology/deploying-plesk-onyx-digitalocean-now-easier-ever/

Note:
The free Plesk Web Admin SE bundled on DigitalOcean droplets includes 30 days of free support. Afterward, either a support subscription or an upgrade to either a Web Pro or Web Host edition is required for continuous support.

Thank you
