Today, we’re excited to announce a partnership and technology integration with Plesk, the leading WebOps hosting platform to run, automate and grow applications, websites, and hosting businesses. \
This partnership introduces Storj DCS (Decentralized Cloud Storage) to a huge market of new customers and developers. Today, Plesk runs on more than 384,000 servers, automating 11M+ websites and 15M+ mailboxes.\
As a first use case, we’d like to showcase how you can backup your webservers to Storj DCS using the Amazon S3 Backup function in Plesk. With Storj DCS and Plesk, backups are a fraction of the cost of other backup and storage solutions. \
This solution pattern uses encryption by default to offer enhanced privacy, edge-based access management for superior security, and is compatible with the S3 protocol. Storj DCS offers industry-leading SLAs, providing multi-region redundancy at no extra cost. \
**Note: **Whether you’re backing up your server or website inside Plesk using Storj DCS, the process is the same. We focus on how to back up your website into Storj in this article. If you prefer to backup your whole server to Storj DCS, just use the server level backup manager with the same principles.\
\
Once you click “OK,” we’re backing up into Storj! \
As we extend the partnership between Storj and WebPros—the creators of Plesk—you may also use the same functionality as above in cPanel. You can refer to this video to check out how to do this. \
In addition, we are also closely working with the Plesk team for an auto-installation of the Storage Node agent on a Plesk server so you can take advantage of the Storj DCS service for secure and economic backups and monetize extra storage space and bandwidth by joining our network of over 11,000 Storage Nodes. With this feature, you could also earn money with your Plesk or cPanel server. Storj pays Node Operators for their unused storage and bandwidth so that anyone can monetize their underutilized devices. But details on that follow soon—watch our blog for updates.
If you are ready to try Storj DCS for free, sign up today to take advantage of their offer of 150 GB of capacity and bandwidth across 3 projects (50 GB each)! \
