WordPress Toolkit, staging, encrypted backups, reseller system, REST API — all included in the base price.

GDPR compliant, Made in Germany

100% German company. No US parent, no US CLOUD Act. Your data stays in the EU.

Automatic migration

Built-in import tools for Plesk. Server migration in minutes, not days.

What Plesk can't do (anymore)

Native multi-server in the panel

Plesk discontinued its Multi Server extension in 2020 (no longer works with Plesk Obsidian). enconf manages multiple servers natively via controller/agent — from day one, no separate product.

Native PrestaShop toolkit

Plesk has no PrestaShop toolkit (only an open feature request). enconf ships a native PrestaShop integration with install, admin SSO and security scan.

Joomla toolkit with staging

Plesk's Joomla toolkit has no native staging. In enconf, staging — plus SSO and CLI — is included for Joomla too.

Under 75 MB of RAM

Plesk needs 2 GB+ of RAM. enconf (controller + agent) runs under 75 MB — that's architectural, not something you can configure into Plesk.

Everything in every plan

Plesk splits features across editions and paid extensions (reseller only from Web Host Edition, WordPress Toolkit Deluxe extra). In enconf everything is included — no edition splits, no surcharges.
