Leading software solutions

cPanel and Plesk have both established themselves as leading software solutions over the past 20 years and today have over 815k active server licenses globally, supporting the operations of more than 85 million websites.

Swiss-based Plesk is Europe’s most widely used hosting control panel, whereas cPanel has built a market-leading position in North America since it was founded by CEO Nick Koston. In addition to the functionality that Plesk offers, cPanel is used by many of the top hosting providers globally to manage their shared hosting platforms.

Our investment 

In 2017, Oakley acquired the assets and operations of Swiss-based Plesk as a carveout from the Parallels Group, followed in 2018 by the acquisitions of virtual server management system provider SolusVM and cPanel, the market-leading web-hosting provider in North America.
