My employer is all of a sudden enthralled with plesk. I guess the customers are asking for it. What can they want it for? Mail account creation, web stats and i dont really know. First I should say, what we do. It is basically a little web/app developing, hosting gig which is growing. I do all the system administration and network administration. I can say that my motivation is self centered for either reason, that I hate working with plesk. I am hoping that I would be able to find some more reasons why implementing plesk is not a good idea so that I can approach him with something other than my own contempt. Like I said, I do not seem to have these reasons in my head yet. The reasons that I thought of already is that having all the services on one machine is not so good.....but why? All I can think of is that administration is much harder, especially when there are more than one plesk machine. We already have separate services running on separate boxes...mail, db, and many web, but it seems that everyone likes a gui. btw, we are running all of our services on FreeBSD. I didn't really know what other list to do this on since their isn't an anti-plesk list that I know of.....I wish! If anyone has any ideas or options of why we should not use plesk, I would like to hear some refreshing insight other than my brain at the moment. thanks, Bob
