Q: How does the installation of Plesk work?

When you book a server product complete with a Plesk license via IONOS, you won’t have to waste any time installing Plesk. Simply select Plesk during the order process. Even with our WordPress Pro plans, the most comprehensive version of Plesk is already included (Web Host Edition). Find out how to unlock your Plesk license for your server in this Help Centre article .

Q: Can I install additional extensions?

Yes. You can easily install popular extensions and significantly increase the functionality of your Plesk servers. This includes, for example, security extensions with tools for spam prevention, encryption and DDoS protection, and web development extensions with tools like Google PageSpeed Insights, Docker, and Code Editor.

Q: How can I install backups with Plesk?

You have several options: On the one hand, you can install additional extensions that provide you with far-reaching backup functionalities. On the other hand, you can use an FTP storage for backups with Plesk, which can also be used for full server backups. In this Help Centre article , we provide a step-by-step explanation of how to use an FTP storage for backups with Plesk. Are you purely looking for a backup solution rather than additional Plesk features? Explore our cloud backup packages and find the best solution for you.
