Ports Used by Panel

Parallels Plesk Panel is middleware between end users and external services such as FTP, mail, DNS and others. Due to technical limitations, Panel is able to interact with these services only if they are available on certain ports.

The list below provides information about services managed through Panel and about ports on which they should be available for proper interaction with Panel. If you use a firewall, make sure that the connections to all of these ports are allowed for corresponding Panel services.
