Brief Plesk Email Outage on Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025
On the evening of Wednesday, October 29, 2025, there was a brief email outage, beginning shortly after 5:00 PM ET, for customers with their email hosted on our Plesk server(s). The outage was caused by a Plesk automatic update that required a reconfiguration of our Warden Antispam and Virus protection software. The issue was resolved shortly before 7:30 PM ET.
[Final Follow-up] Please Verify Your Migrated Email Settings on Plesk (Update 5)
This is a final follow-up message for all customers regarding the completed Plesk server migration.
Our access to the old server will be permanently discontinued in approximately one week (around November 4, 2025). This is the final opportunity for us to retrieve any data or settings that may have been missed.
Important
We have confirmed a report, from one customer, that some email forwarding addresses and aliases were not transferred correctly during the migration. This appears to be a rare issue with the Plesk migration tool.

Is your hosted email domain ready for Google’s & Yahoo’s DMARC requirements?
Starting in February of 2024, Google, Yahoo, and others, will begin requiring that DMARC, SPF, and DKIM, be properly set up on your domain name, if you will be sending email, from your email domain, to them. DMARC, SPF, and DKIM, help authenticate email senders by verifying that the emails came from the domain that they claim to be from.
You can check your domain name, to see if DMARC has already been set up, by using this DMARC Check tool.
Contact us, to set up an appointment, to review your domain, and make sure DMARC is properly set up, so you don’t have trouble sending email to those providers beginning in 2024.
Temporarily disabled HTTP/2 on our Plesk hosting servers due to Rapid Reset vulnerability CVE-2023-44487
10/11/2023: 
We have temporarily disabled HTTP/2 on our Plesk web hosting servers, due to a recently disclosed vulnerability in HTTP/2. Our servers will serve web pages using HTTP/1.1 until software updates containing the necessary mitigations are provided by Plesk, and Nginx. The effect of this change from HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.1 should, at most, be a slight reduction in website performance.
11/8/2023 Update: HTTP/2 has been re-enabled based on guidance from Plesk.
