Plesk
Plesk is a web hosting panel for running many websites on one server. You create domains, customers and resellers, assign service plans and manage PHP version, databases, mailboxes, DNS zones, FTP accounts and backups per website in the browser. Plesk renews Let's Encrypt certificates on its own, the WP Toolkit keeps WordPress installations up to date, and Site Import pulls existing websites from other hosts onto the Seed. Running Plesk requires a Plesk license. You enter the activation code at first login or start with the 14-day trial license from Plesk.
KeyHelp
KeyHelp is a free web hosting panel by Keyweb AG for Linux servers. You create customers, assign them hosting plans with limits for storage, traffic, domains, mailboxes and databases, and manage PHP version, DNS zone, email accounts with spam and virus protection, FTP accounts, cron jobs and Let's Encrypt certificates per domain in the browser. Your customers get their own logins with a file manager, database administration and webmail. Backups to local or remote storage run on a schedule, the monitoring shows services and disk usage, and the REST API connects the panel to your billing. KeyHelp is licence free, the additional features of KeyHelp Pro are an optional subscription.
WordPress
Build client sites, company websites and blogs on your Seed with WordPress. You design pages and posts in the block editor and pick a look from thousands of themes, or adjust it yourself in the Site Editor. Free plugins from the official directory add contact forms, SEO, multilingual content or an online shop. You give editors and clients their own logins and use roles to decide whether someone only writes posts or manages the whole site. Once your client signs off on the site, you switch it over to their domain.

Frequently asked questions about apps
What does an app cost?
The app itself is free. You are billed for the Seed it runs on, by the hour according to its model. If the app needs an IPv4 address, it is added automatically at the regular IPv4 price.
Who installs updates for the app?
The app runs on your Seed and you have full root access. You install updates for the app and the operating system yourself, as described in the app's documentation. For many apps, our guides cover the steps as well.
Can I create a Seed with an app through the Public API?
Yes. The GET /apps endpoint of the Public API returns the catalog with every installable version. When you create a Seed, set the source type to app and the ref to apps/{slug}/versions/{version_slug}. Every app page shows a complete example.
How do I know the setup is complete?
The setup runs on the Seed's first boot and takes a few minutes depending on the app. Once it is complete, the file ready.txt in /root on the Seed contains everything you need next. If you find a failed.txt there instead, please contact our support.
