Add and reread IP addresses in Plesk, mark them shared or dedicated, assign IPs to resellers and subscriptions, set a default certificate and use IPv6.
Monitor a Plesk server with Monitoring and service alerts
Use the Plesk Monitoring extension for CPU, RAM, disk and traffic graphs, set alert thresholds and notifications, and use Services Management to restart failed services.
Monitor resource usage and set the overuse policy in Plesk
Check disk and traffic usage per subscription in Plesk, choose what happens when limits are exceeded, set notifications and use cgroups to limit CPU and memory.
Move a domain to another subscription or customer in Plesk
Move a domain with its files, mail and databases to another subscription, change a subscription's owner or plan, and plan the change to avoid downtime.

Choose between LVM, thin LVM and file-based storage in Virtualizor, add storage pools to nodes, set overcommit limits, monitor free space and expand storage safely.
