Providers who offer Plesk are not often within the Lowend Category.
Or even somewhere offering a pay-by-the-hour Plesk VPS?
Good luck
You could go to:
http://www.demowolf.com/hosting-tutorials.php
and watch their Plesk demos for free. Not sure if they have any on the admin side of things, though.
It's more the file structure etc. I want to look at. They have me all afternoon and I have a feeling they're going to put me to the test with a Plesk server.
Thanks
1&1 is the cheapest I can think of off the top of my head.
Alvotech have a Confixx template with their vServers.
Not exactly Plesk, but closely related.
You could get a 15 day trial licence and throw it in a virtual machine?
Ah thanks, didn't realise they did trials. Now I just need a cheap VPS for a day...
@jtodd Give me a minute and I'll message you with one you can use.
Why not just a virtual machine on your desktop? o0
Too much trouble.
Thanks, appreciate it
I thought Plesk was free for a single site installation...
It used to be, I think they removed that for v 10 though.
People still choose Plesk?
Yeah, I already queried it and they said cPanel has too many ways for inexperienced users to break things, which makes sense I guess.
On a separate note, Plesk 11 looks nice - it has a new look and built in nginx caching.
Would you like a manchester VPS for the day, James. :-)
Bit late now but thanks for the offer!
I'm up and running on one of @jarland's servers.
Nice to see people giving out free servers though!
James
No problem, Hope everything goes good on the interview! :-)

You can have Plesk license for free upto 30 days so every box will work fine for you.
Dont forget that horrid trial message.. Best using Dev licenses
I avoid Parallels like the plague. I tried really hard to give them my money, I mean I called multiple times a day, sent e-mails, even randomly called extensions in their directory. They would not let me buy anything unless I purchased through my rep who never answered his phone. I even talked to the person sitting next to him and he said he was there, I called my rep not 15 seconds later and still got his voicemail. I ended up cancelling my account with them and they sent me to collections because they said I needed to pay for my last month used and the month after I cancelled. They billed me for 3 months when I only had licenses for 2 months and I only cancelled because I couldn't buy more licenses. A year later my rep called me back to see if I was looking to purchase more licenses and I hung up on him.
Sounds like Computer Associates should buy them.
Plesk is fine as long as you don't have to walk users through the UI.
