Popular with UKC customers

Build with WordPress

Install and manage WordPress through Plesk Toolkit, with useful controls for updates and security.

Each WordPress installation normally needs a database, so compare database limits as well as website limits.

Visual website building

Build with SiteJet

Start from a template and use drag-and-drop editing to create a site without beginning from an empty page.

Bring what you already have

Upload a site or application

Work with your own files and MySQL databases, or use supported application installers.

One account, separate websites

Bring several websites together without mixing them up.

Each hosted domain can have its own files, SSL certificate, email addresses and databases. The websites share the resources of your chosen plan while remaining separately manageable in one Plesk subscription.

  • Keep website content and settings separate
  • Manage domains, mail, files and databases from one login
  • Move to a larger plan when you need more capacity
