The Plesk software package is a web hosting automation solution by SWsoft. It allows a server administrator to set up new websites, email accounts, and DNS entries through a web-based interface. Other services managed by Plesk include MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, Tomcat Java server, ColdFusion server, as well as CounterStrike and Battlefield 1942 game servers.Plesk has two branches of development. Plesk for UNIX aims at supporting a diverse range of Linux distributions including such popular platforms as Red Hat Linux/Fedora, SUSE, Debian/Ubuntu, as well as FreeBSD. Plesk for Windows supports modern Windows versions.The company behind Plesk, SWsoft, operates principally from Siberia, in eastern Russia, the birthplace of Dmitri Simonenko, the originator of Plesk. The management works in Chantilly, Virginia, but the programming takes place in Novosibirsk in Siberia.Plesk development serves as an example of the nascent tech boom in Siberia specifically, and outside the North Atlantic area in general, made possible by the ability of programmers to work remotely.
