Chapter 12. Managing Domains

As an administrator using the Plesk Server Administrator (PSA) software, you can perform a variety of domain management tasks in a few clicks.

IMPORTANT

The Standard Apache configuration (RPM from Apache) allows for approximately 1000 domains (4096 open files) PSA's standard Apache web server configuration has been configured for approximately 4000 domains on a single server, which exceeds the standard configuration. However, the maximum number of domains for a single PSA server can be increased to exceed even the current configuration. This operation requires recompiling the Apache web server kernel. If you wish to increase the possible number of domains to exceed 4000 contact your Plesk, Inc. Support Technician to discuss the viability of a recompilation.
