I wanna leave plesk

Hello,
I want leave Plesk and possible save some money. The reason why I want to change is because it's heavy.
What do you suggest me?
I'm trying Direct Admin and I'm feel lost and seem very limited.
Comments
DirectAdmin is not difficult, is user-friendly like cPanel.. It's just a time of go deeply and know how it works.
ISPManager is a good alternative but you will require 2GB RAM and 1 Core to have at least 10 websites hosted. ISPManager have a new theme, but the best alternative in my opinion to cPanel is DirectAdmin.
If you are using a VPS with 512MB or 1GB is better you use without any panel..
I also want to leave plesk, but it is an abusive relationship and all other panels are just worse.
Have you looked into apiscp (from @nem )? Im currently moving from ISPManager to apiscp and it looks pretty good so far.
KeyHelp, but features limited.
It is a lot easier to help if you describe what you need.
But you can take a look at CyberPanel. It is one of the new control panels, and it's built for LiteSpeed/OpenLiteSpeed and it's easy to use. The founder is one of LiteSpeed Technologies' developers.
CyberPanel has like other free panels been criticized a little for not checking for similar security issues and not fixing security issues fast enough when they have been reported. But they have addressed the problem by hiring a pentester, so I think it is worth giving them a chance.
CyberPanel + OpenLiteSpeed is free.
https://cyberpanel.net/
CyberPanel Enterprise + LiteSpeed (1 domain, 1 worker, 2 GB Ram) is free and they offer a 15 days trial for larger servers, so you can test it.

I want to leave Earth. The universe is not calling me though.
Apiscp
Does it work with Ubuntu or Debian? CentOS is dead.
@nem have a seamless transition in place to Rocky or Alma by Q3..
ipc manager work with debian, but the worst part with direct admin is:
I know cyberpanel but isn't stable. I'm not trust to handle client site.
I read a lot of apiscp, i'm looking for a demo but missing backup scheder....where is it?
ISPManager it's stable for client?
Pay attention I want change plesk not for price but for heavy.
Its stable. 2GB is just the recommended. Why do you say plesk is heavy?
Because I test 3 website first in vps and after in dedicated server (4 times more big of vps) and speed not improve.
In meanwhile with directadmin or cyberpanel work the change of server improve the speed.
Directadmin, if your dc offers internal licensing, you are in for a win.
ApisCp @nem
Here at NexusBytes, we offer both for free.
2GB is fine. With Nginx.
2GB is not fine. With Apache.
NGINX is a great web server, but Apache is quite good when it's configured correctly. You can configure Apache to behave like litespeed or Nginx it really does boost speed
With 2GB Ram and Plesk with PHP+MySQL running it does absolutely not matter how much you optimize Apache.
Try https://cloudstick.io
Less price, easy to use, one-click installers, Free team feature, free migration, and 24/7 technical support. EasyPHP installer, User quota, and more..
Ok maybe try ISPmanager
Many times its not the server but its due to crap plugins or scripts. Maybe try optimizing your site?
Or do you expect that control panels makes automatic optimization base on your site?
Waiting on Rocky to not be vaporware... they've got a little more than a month to go.
Repeering upstream to Red Hat creates quite a bit more value for a distro backed by a corporation with more than $3 billion in revenue. I'd put faith in Red Hat continuing to deliver enterprise reliability even if that means you get access to software slightly sooner than every 5 years.
I already optimize all site. But why same site changing only web hosting panel it’s more heavy?
@Aswin there is a demo?
There is no demo but we provide 10 days free trial, no need for the credit card info. All you need a Ubuntu 16.04/18.04/20.04 LTS.
Highly recommend ApisCP as well. I moved my Plesk boxes to ApisCP some time ago and couldn't be happier.
I vote CyberPanel. It is not the prettiest thing that you will see, but does the job and at least imo is not very heavy.
Can we have any alternative to Plesk for windows users? For Linux, I am using cPanel & Directadmin though.
I'm running Plesk Obsidian 18.0.35 on a 3GB 4 vCPU VPS - RHEL 8 ( I think this version is faster than 18.0.34 #2)
Using Cgroups, I limit the memory and CPU for each website.
So far, Plesk is running fast.
Compared with DirectAdmin, I must admit that DA is lighter and easier to manage.
Plesk uses Domain as home folder while DA and cPanel use /home/$user as home folder.
Didn't see you in a while, mate. Good to see you are still around
I'm valuing ApisCP it's support backup schedule and restore daily from a ftp storage?
I have some vps with Cyberpanel. And I like it! but problem is setup ftp backup. Any suggestion?
That's a principle reason why I hate(d) working with clients that use(d) Plesk (- an unnecessary splitting of http/https).
Note: DA actually uses/used the Plesk structure though has a symbolic link.
At moment, after 14y of plesk, directadmin missing a lot ux and setting like php version easy change, cron job easy to setup, different php version in domain and subdomain.
