# What are the differences in Plesk types and editions?

## Question

I can choose between different types of Plesk licenses during purchase, what are their differences?

## Answer

Plesk licenses come in different editions **(WebAdmin, WebPro, or WebHost)** and are applicable for different server types **(dedicated or virtual (VPS) servers)**:

**Server types:**

- **Dedicated server:** Asits name already says, you will have to choose this option if you want to install the license on a 'dedicated server'. So basically if you own the server and it is not shared with other services.
- **VPS:** This is the option that you should choose if your services are on a shared hosting or also known as a virtual server (for example OpenVZ, VMware or Xen).

**Editions:**

- **Plesk Web Admin Edition:**  
    is for the basic management of simple websites and your domains, without the extended tools and features.
- **Plesk Web Pro Edition:**  
    is for those who need the full flexibility to build, secure and run highly optimized and customized websites. Get all the features, including the full WP Toolkit, to mass-manage and automate your projects.
- **Plesk Web Host Edition:**  
    for Web Hosters to customize, provision, and manage hosting businesses. Get maximum flexibility, access to the domain management tools, and the full WP Toolkit to support your multi-tenant, “install anything” business model.
