It’s fast and easy to get your full-managed VPS Plesk server up and running on Amazon EC2, we even set up your SSL certificate free.

All you need to do is point your domain to the server.

NB: Plesk can take up to 20-30 mins to install on any server, so allow time for the server to send you the Admin password after purchase. Unlike our other services, it is not instant.

Plesk is licensed with an initial 14-day free trial license. You’ll need to purchase a month license from Plesk directly to continue using Plesk on your Amazon EC2 server after the free trial expires.
