WordPress is God. Except better… as it is real 
I run a lot of websites and frequently use wordpress as the basis of these sites. It is often quicker and easier to install WordPress than to fire up Dreamweaver.

very handy for convincing your hosting company that there really is a problem.
First, make sure procmail is installed on your server, and change to this directory:
/var/qmail/mailnames/yourdomain.com/yourusername/
Inside that directory, drop in a .procmailrc file which contains the following:
MAILDIR=/var/qmail/mailnames/yourdomain.com/yourusername/Maildir
DEFAULT=${MAILDIR}/
SPAMDIR=${MAILDIR}/.Junk/
:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes.*
${SPAMDIR}
Once that file is in place, move the .qmail file out of the way, and replace it with this:
| /usr/local/psa/bin/psa-spamc accept
|preline /usr/bin/procmail -m -o .procmailrc
Any changes you or your users make in plesk will over write this!
To get around this change the file attributes to immutable:
# chattr +i .qmail .procmailrc

Memo to self:
To back up the databases in shell via ssh do:
mysqldump -h localhost -u xxxxx -p db_name > backup-file.sql
restore with
mysql -h localhost -u xxxxx -p db_name < backup-file.sql
