Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2 // 9.2 // Linux Server
Introduction Unlike normal hosting plans, which put many customers' accounts on a single server, a server is reserved exclusively for the account and use of a single customer. This means that you have exclusive rights to the server's bandwidth, memory, and storage space. When you purchase a server, you actually lease a server box that remains at our data centers, which you can configure and set up according to your preferences. Assisted Service Plan is a server option that shifts the responsibility of setup, monitoring, maintenance, security, and patching of your server to our server support team. Dedicated servers on an Assist Service Plan do not have root/system-level access, but we allow control over all other aspects of the server. The Parallels Plesk Panel is installed for advanced server management tasks.
SECURITY INFORMATION Compared with shared hosting, a server o ! ers ers more power and more versatility. You can run and install virtually anything on your server. However, with this added control comes added responsibility. You are responsible for the security, backup, and maintenance of your server, unless you have purchased an Assisted Service Plan and/or Managed Backup Services.
