Control Panel Goes KABOOM!

Last Update: July 03, 2012
Many of you have been asking about where the control panel has gone? Where the heck is plesk and why can't you log into plesk right now.

This has actually been a long time coming. We have not liked the plesk interface for quite some time, it is confusing and it is not very user friendly. We have always known that the main features that plesk is used for (email creation/management, database management, FTP) can be done better elsewhere, and ideally within the Wealthy Affiliate interface.

We are going to make LIFE MUCH EASIER!


That continues to be our goal. Simplify, innovate and improve through technology and if you have been with us for any amount of time you will know that Wealthy Affiliate is constantly evolving. We are a few days away from offering email management within WA and this will be followed by Plesk DB management.

In the meantime, you will not be able to log into plesk. You can still access your WP-admin area for your website and get at all of your website files via FTP (I recommend you use CoreFTP for transferring files).

Carson also blogged about some of the latest changes taking place within hosting:

Improvements are on their way!

Thanks for the update .In the meantime can I still upload Word Press into my main website via FTP?

You can still use the website builder here at WA to build your Wordpress sites, you do not need to FTP to accomplish this.

I think this'll make WA a lot more appealing. To be honest with you, I've read a few negative reviews over Wealthy Affiliate over this very issue. Of course I didn't really care anyway as I read it. It's really awesome you're updating this. I'll need to go through it and learn everything.

Yeah, there really is no reason for 99% of people to be logging into the control panel once we have these things in place. It is confusing, highly technical and something that newcomers (and even experienced folks) should not longer have to deal with.

No problem. Sorry for any confusion this has caused anyone. Things are continually being improved and we want to take all of the "control panel" out of hosting. It is confusing for most and it tends to lead to frustration and lack of productivity, two things we are definitely not advocates of!
