Verio Attracts Resellers with Free Month of VPS Hosting: Companies looking to boost revenues are finding Verio's Free VPS promotion the right fit for getting started as Hosting Reseller.

Plesk 7 incorporates 60 new enhancements, including a new sub-domain manager, a multi-level trouble ticketing system, custom button and skin management, a site builder and osCommerce e-commerce software support. The software also features a newly designed Windows XP-like user interface, is equipped SpamAssassin, an open source anti-spam tool, and includes "Application Vault," an extendible application repository that allows point and click packaging, configuration and installation for hundreds of applications.

"Since the acquisition [of Plesk], we tripled the investment in Plesk-related R&D and now it pays off," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft. "In addition to Plesk 7 and Plesk 8, we now have several other incredible products in development for 2004 including a multi-server distributed management system for Plesk servers providing hosting resellers with centralized management capabilities from a single uniform interface. Tighter integration of our Plesk and Virtuozzo technologies?is also in the works now and will be released shortly."

Plesk 7 is the second upgrade to the control panel since SWsoft acquired Plesk in June of last year. Following the acquisition, SWSoft released version 6 of Plesk and in November released Plesk 6.5 for Windows 2003.

SWsoft also announced that it had completed a deal with Web hosting provider 1&1 Internet, making it the first company to offer Plesk 7 on Red Hat Linux 9.

"We are thrilled to have completed a deal with SWsoft to be the first Web hosting provider in the world to offer Plesk 7 for Red Hat 9," said Andreas Gauger, CEO of 1&1 Internet. "We've found the interface redesign to be cleaner and more powerful, and certainly the best choice of hosting control panels for our customers. Thanks to Plesk, we?re able to offer 1&1 customers the ability to configure, administer, control and maintain their dedicated server and email addresses."

SWsoft said customers who purchase Plesk 7 licenses before March 1 will receive a free package of add-on features valued at $296.
