Self-managed Plesk cloud hosting
Your server.Your Plesk. Your rules.
Build a private Plesk server with the CPU, RAM, SSD storage and licence you need. You run the operating system and websites; DX3 supplies the resilient cloud infrastructure and VM-level backups.
Root access, websites, mail, DNS, updates and server configuration.
Virtualisation, physical infrastructure, network and VM-level backup layer.
Choose resources for one site, many subscriptions or agency workloads.
Web Admin, Web Pro or Web Host—selected during configuration.
Configure and order
Build the server you actually need.
Start with our practical defaults, then move each resource up or down. The monthly total updates as you configure it.
A real cloud server, not shared hosting
Private resources.
Simple monthly pricing.
This is for people who want control of their own Plesk environment without buying hardware or managing the virtualisation platform underneath it.
Choose the resources
Configure vCPU, RAM and SSD capacity around your current workload, with room to upgrade later.
Choose your Plesk licence
Select Web Admin, Web Pro or Web Host depending on how many domains and customers you operate.
Run it your way
Use Plesk to manage websites, databases, mail, DNS, certificates and subscriptions.
Root-level control
The VM is yours to administer. Install supported tools and configure services for your own requirements.
VM-level backups
The infrastructure includes virtual-machine backups even though day-to-day server administration remains yours.
Upgrade as you grow
Add resources when workloads expand instead of migrating to an entirely different hosting product.
Unmanaged, clearly defined
You manage the server.
We keep the cloud underneath it running.
“Unmanaged” should never mean ambiguous. This is the operational boundary for the standard self-managed service.

If you want DX3 to own the operating system, monitoring and service configuration too, talk to us before ordering and we’ll recommend the right managed platform.
