The next version of the popular control panel Plesk will be called Plesk Onyx. This will be version 17.0, confusingly skipping a few numbers from the current Plesk 12.5. However, Plesk Onyx promises to bring a wealth of new features and improvements, and in this blog post we will look at some of the most important updates.
- Git Support – The popular source code management system will get integration with Plesk Onyx.
- Docker Support – Onyx will provide support for the container system for distributed applications.

- System Resource Usage Limits – The resources available to each subscription or service plan will be controllable from within Plesk.
- DNSSEC – This is an extension of the DNS protocol which allows signing of the DNS data, this secures the domain name resolving process.
- SSL Improvements – Users will be able to force HTTPS connections to Plesk hosted websites, Plesk mail server connections will be able to be secured with SSL/TLS, and Plesk webmail connections will also be able to be secured by SSL/TLS.
