As of November 28, 2024, Plesk has once again increased prices for all base licenses—a move that hasn't completely surprised many, but is certainly noticeable. Those dealing with license costs will have noticed: Not only have prices risen, but the availability has also changed.
With several hosting providers, Plesk licenses are now only available in combination with their own server contracts. Many people now come across notes like:
“Plesk licenses are only valid in combination with our Dedicated Server / V-Server contracts.” Source: ip-projects.de
This particularly complicates matters for those operating their own servers—be it in a data center, with a third-party provider, or in-house. But don't worry: They still exist—Plesk licenses for self-hosting at fair prices. And I'll show you where.
Provider Directory
The displayed (gross) prices were last updated on April 18, 2025. For comparison, we have chosen the Plesk Web Host (VPS) as the highest license.
1. NUXOA GmbH - €26.06
NUXOA GmbH offers Plesk licenses at competitive prices at nuxoa.de. As an established provider, it's worth checking out their offer, especially for cost-effective solutions.
2. noez.de – €31.99
At noez.de, Plesk licenses are often significantly cheaper than directly through Plesk. The provider has been established for years and offers hassle-free transactions—ideal for those looking for a cost-effective license solution without renting servers there.
3. Skrime.eu – €49.97 (On offer for €24.99 as of April 14, 2025)
Skrime.eu also offers an interesting alternative. Regular discount promotions are available here, and—this is the crucial point—the licenses are not tied to a specific hoster. This means Plesk can be used on your own server or with any provider.
4. Röth & Beck – Reselling of Plesk Licenses (Price on request)
It's worth checking out Röth & Beck. There, resellers can independently determine IP bindings. This means full flexibility in license assignment—perfect if you use multiple systems or changing environments.
5. IONOS vServer including Plesk
A real insider tip is the vServer offer from IONOS. Although the price may seem higher at first glance, a second look is worthwhile: For under €10 per month, you get 4 vCPU cores, 8 GB RAM and 240 GB NVMe storage—and here's the kicker: The Plesk Web Admin Edition is already included!
This is an extremely attractive combination of performance and license value, especially for smaller projects, test environments, or as a central management instance. So if you're considering using Plesk and don’t yet have a server—definitely check out IONOS.
Tip: Ask your own provider
If you already operate a vServer or Dedicated Server with a provider, be sure to ask directly there. Many hosters offer provider-bound Plesk licenses that are often significantly cheaper than standalone licenses. These licenses are usually only usable on the provider's servers but are very attractive in terms of price. A quick glance at the customer portal or an email to support can pay off—especially if you already use existing infrastructure.
