Ummm, shouldn’t this be Plesk “CONS”?

Plesk Pros

Lack of Integration – In contrast to cPanel, Plesk does not integrate with many third-party applications outside of Microsoft products for added functionality. For this reason, Plesk is not very popular as a Linux server even though it does support the platform.

Slower Load Times – The mere structure of Plesk makes it susceptible to slow and sluggish performance, particularly in the Linux environment. This is not always the case, but Plesk has been known to lag on even some of the most powerful servers

I think the second “Plesk Pros” should be “Plesk Cons” and perhaps some mention of how buggy plesk has been the past few years… It’s common knowledge not to upgrade to a new major release of plesk for at least a few minor revisions until they iron out the bugs. This normally results in about 6-12 months of waiting before it’s safe to upgrade… even then, things will break.

Slow release cycles too… ie. Fedora 8 is the latest Fedora supported by Plesk for Linux. Fedora is at version 11 which means at least 18+ months since Fedora 8 was released and won’t be supported for long.

If would be great software if their QA, support and pricing structure was better.
