Web hosting provider Easy CGI (cgi.com) has recently added SWsoft's (swsoft.com) Plesk 8.2 Hosting Control Panel to its virtual private hosting plans. This latest Plesk update enables Easy CGI customers a more comprehensive and secure server management solution for their hosted sites and applications.

Plesk control panel automates various tasks to help service providers share resources and reduce their operating costs, enabling users to click on icons to access a range of management tools and applications to easily manage multiple virtual servers on a single server using Virtuozzo.

Other features of Plesk 8.2 include improved security and stability over previous versions, single sign on for simplified user authentication, multiple account levels, templates for creating new domains and setting permissions, customizable control panel with international language support and integration with other SWsoft products, such as HSPcomplete and Sitebuilder.

"Easy CGI's virtual dedicated servers provide a logical upgrade path for customers wanting advanced hosting solutions on a dedicated system," explained Dan Richfield, president at Easy CGI. "With Plesk 8.2's improved stability and fully automated features, we can offer affordable, advanced hosting to our customers. We are thrilled to have this latest version of Plesk."
