These parameters define the hosting service provided with the plan.
Note: Unless specifically noted, the parameters are not synced if the Hosting management permission is selected.
Enable hosting
Defines if the hosting service is actually provided with the plan.
Clear this option to make up a service plan that provides only mail service. Subscribers of such a plan will be able to have 'domains without hosting' which will serve mailboxes.
Hard disk quota
Hard quota imposed on disk space in addition to the soft quota (set with the option Notify when reaching). Hard disk quota will not allow writing more files to the web space when the limit is reached: users will get an "Out of disk space" error at an attempt to write files.
Note: (Linux/Unix hosting) Confirm that your operating system supports hard disk quota before you set any value other than Unlimited. In case you define a hard quota when it is not supported, you will get a synchronization conflict on all the plan's subscriptions.
SSL support
Allows setting up SSL encryption on websites hosted within the subscription.
Web statistics
Selects a statistics engine that will create reports on how the subscription's websites are visited: how many people visited a site, and which web pages they viewed.
The accessible via password protected directory /plesk-stat/webstat option allows a subscriber view website statistics at URLs like https://example.com/plesk-stat/webstat using their system user account login and password.
Note: This parameter is not synced if the Web statistics management permission is selected.
Custom error documents
Allows subscribers to design and use their own error pages that the web server returns with HTTP error codes.
SSH access to server shell under the subscription's system user (Linux/Unix hosting)
Allows subscribers to upload securely web content to the server through SSH.
Note: This parameter is not synced if the Management of access to server over SSH permission is selected.
Scripting
Support for programming and scripting languages that should be interpreted, executed or otherwise processed by a web server: Microsoft ASP.NET framework, PHP hypertext preprocessor (PHP), Common Gateway Interface (CGI), Perl, Python, Fast Common Gateway Interface (FastCGI), Microsoft or Apache Active Server Pages (ASP), Server Side Includes (SSI), ColdFusion, and Miva scripting required for running Miva e-commerce solutions.
To learn more about adjustable PHP settings, see the section PHP Settings.
Additional write/modify permissions (Windows hosting)
This option is required if subscriber's web applications use a file-based database (like Jet) located in the root of httpdocs folder. Please note that selecting this option might seriously compromise the Web site security.
Allow web users to use scripts
Allows scripting at web pages available at URLs like http://example.com/~<username>/<webpage>, where <username> refers to a web user.
Web users are individuals who do not need their own domain names. This service is popular with educational institutions that host non-commercial personal pages of their students and staff.
FrontPage support (Windows hosting). The options in the FrontPage support group allow subscribers to connect to the server and create websites with Microsoft Frontpage.
