It provides a graphical interface that allows users to manage websites, email, databases, DNS records, and security settings without using the command line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It works alongside <\/span><b>WHM (WebHost Manager)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which gives server administrators the ability to create hosting accounts, manage resources, and

another major hosting control panel designed to manage servers, applications, and websites through a unified interface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike cPanel, Plesk <\/span><b>supports both Linux and Windows servers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which makes it a common choice for businesses running <\/span><b>Microsoft Windows Server<\/b><span
