The Web hosting company 1&1 Internet, Inc. (www.1and1.com) announced on December 16 that it is providing safer, faster and more powerful management of its root servers by pre-installing Plesk 7.5 Reloaded, a powerful new control panel software that offers enhanced Firewall, Gaming, VPN, FileServer, Plesk SDK, Plesk API Modules, SiteBuilder integration and more than 20 new packaged site applications. Pre-installed in all 1&1 root servers at no additional cost to customers, Plesk 7.5 Reloaded (www.sw-soft.com/en/products/plesk75reloaded/) is an upgraded version of SWsoft’s award-winning Plesk control panel software. It was developed with feedback from thousands of users and allows quick deployment and simplified management of Linux servers by enabling the delegation of management tasks and providing complete self-management interfaces for mail, domain, reseller and server level administration with point-and-click simplicity. It also offers a number of new features and a comprehensive applications vault with popular software including blogging, search engine, polling, banners, Webmail, calendaring and more.
In addition to its various new features, Plesk 7.5 Reloaded includes several components that are offered to 1&1 customers at no cost, such as Integrated SPAM-Assassin, Application Pack and Counterstrike-Gameserver support. SPAM-Assassin provides mailbox-filtering against SPAM, and is fully integrated into the Plesk Interface. Users will also receive more open-source applications for their systems, including Mambo content management software, Nuke PHP, osCommerce Shop, phpBB (bulletin board), phpBook (guestbook), bbClone (Counter), gtChat (chat software), and more. Plesk’s Software Development Kit (SDK) allows further customization and integration with existing systems. Additionally, Plesk 7.5 Reloaded includes the support of CounterStrike GameServer.
Andreas Gauger, Chairman of the Board of 1&1 Internet, said that Plesk 7.5 Reloaded further strengthens what was already an excellent and comprehensive control panel software, and that since 1&1 Internet is committed to providing its customers the latest technologies at competitive prices, 1&1 Internet is extremely happy to be the first hosting company to offer this valuable new tool.
Kurt Daniel, director of marketing at SWsoft, said that SWsoft is pleased to continue to offer 1&1 and its customers innovative hosting automation solutions that provide proven and immediate value to their hosting business, that SWsoft has deliberately taken the feedback from its customers to extend its solutions to incorporate the most demanded features and applications available, and that by making Plesk more flexible through SWsoft’s API modules and the Plesk SDK, customers and partners can now leverage new powerful capabilities that will only be further expanded in the future.
