Hi guys,

Is it possible to run Plesk on a cobalt raq4 (a rackshack cobalt offering?)

Well plesk generally likes "clean" servers and the cobalt raq is far from that. Also I believe that the RAQ uses a modifed version of Linux to suit their purposes that could cause incompatibilities.

Also removing the current software and adding plesk on a raq would be a huge undertaking...

Is their a reason you thinking of getting a raq over the cheaper and more powerful Linux/Plesk boxes offered by the Rackshack?

I believe it is possible to run both on the same machine at the same time, but my question is.. why would you want to? Why would you want to use a RaQ with the OS wiped and install Plesk? As asked above, I'd just go for whatever Linux?Plesk box they have.

Euuuugh god no, i personally hate Raqs :P

Na i noticed on a rival hosts site (who I know uses a Raq from Rackshack) that they had Plesk installed as the cp, and i though, eh thats odd, never seen that before, so I thought id ask u pros and see if it was possible :P

lol:rolleyes:

well me personally dont use rackshack or a coblat server -- we have all linux /plesk boxes --but we do lease cobalt to our clients , thats what most people demand and ask for price cobalt give us the price that we can pass on to the client

but there is nothing wrong with a raq they are stable systems and to finish my statement im my own host :) heheh
