Changes in Parallels Plesk Panel 10
Control Panel and Auxiliary Users : The new Control Panel provides simpler UI for customers and also introduces auxiliary users able to access Control Panel together with customer. The auxiliary users replace former Domain Administrator and mail users, the amount of operations available to the new Control Panel users is defined using a flexible system of user privileges.
Multi-domain hosting : The concept of a domain has been replaced with a concept of a subscription – a hosting unit able to run multiple sites (domains and subdomains) over given resources and services. As the subscriptions belong to customers, the domain administrator role is removed. However, a customer is able to create user accounts that are eligible to manage all the customer’s sites.
Multiple FTP accounts :Customer can create multiple FTP accounts within a single subscription, defining which part of the subscription files can be accessed by each.Integrated
SiteBuilder 5.0 : SiteBuilder 5.0 (former Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder) is the Panel component that is 100% focused on fast and efficient creation of websites.
