    One of the most useless Control Panel that doesn't support Phyton is PLESK. I wasted my money on my hosting server, and in the end Plesk doesn't support Phyton.

    No documentation and proper tutorials that actually working, it's a fully waste of time. NEVER USE PLESK if you are planning for Phyton Development. NO SUPPORT AT ALL.
