Virtuozzo Templates for Plesk

Deploying Plesk using the template technology in Virtuozzo will increase the efficiency and density of your server by making the Plesk footprint smaller, thereby allowing you to maximize your number of customer deployments and optimize your business. Templates also simplify the management of Plesk by allowing rapid deployment and quick upgrades.

The templates technology allows you to use the original OS vendor’s packages and to receive the updated RPM packages from a central repository right after their release without having to wait until they are packaged into templates by Parallels and delivered to you.

Virtuozzo 4.0 represents a major step forward in the manageability, performance, and efficiency of virtualization technologies. This release brings many exciting new features and upgrades to the leading OS virtualization solution including powerful new management tools, improved ease of use, and new business continuity solutions.

Get Plesk free-of-charge, fully functional version, activated for 1-domain and 1-email. To activate Plesk for more than one domain, you must purchase a multiple domain license.
