SWsoft Announces new Plesk 6.5 web-hosting automation software for Windows Server 2003 platform

SWsoft, Inc., the leader in hosting automation and enterprise server software, today announced the release of Plesk 6.5 for Windows Server 2003, a new addition to the Plesk Server Administration Web-hosting Software family and is immediately available through Interland.

Plesk 6.5 for Windows delivers the proven rock solid reputation demanded by professional hosting service providers (HSP) worldwide wrapped in the familiar interface already in use by tens of thousands of Linux server administrators everyday. Tiered Windows self-administration simplified by a nice looking, easy to use interface, brings a staple in Linux hosting automation to Windows Server administration.

Developed for easy setup and quick deployment of Microsoft web-hosting servers, Plesk 6.5 installs all applications necessary for managing the services offered by today's professional HSP including support for Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft.NET, a completely new interface for administration, new sub-domain setup and management, and additional Microsoft Server 2003 native programs for webserver administration.

Our customers require solutions that simplify the management of Web hosting functions like provisioning/managing web hosting accounts, integrated email management, and integrated DNS management, said John Lally, director of product management for Interland. Our team has worked extensively with SWsoft's development team on Plesk 6.5 to ensure this release is the first step toward creating a complete, integrated solution for both Windows and Linux servers, from the leading provider of web hosting automation solutions.

In addition to the feedback from beta users, Interland provided exceptional support in the testing of Plesk 6.5 for Windows. As the first adopter, Interland demonstrated the true meaning of partnership by committing significant resources to the launch by participating in the joint testing, integration, and development training of sales and support teams.

With the acquisition of Plesk and Confixx in June of 2003, SWsoft became the license leader in the control panel market, said Joshua Beil, Tier 1 Research. The release of Plesk 6.5 is quite timely and addresses the needs of its customers that are looking to leverage the enhanced scalability and security features found in Windows Server 2003.
