Web Hosting at Servercow

Welcome to the web hosting subpage!
Here you will find a comprehensive overview of all available guides for your web hosting plans (webcow) at Servercow.

Note on Web Server Migration – 2025 
Since June 2025, we have been using **Plesk** as the default platform.  
All guides therefore refer to the new Plesk interface.

If you still need access to the previous Liveconfig manual (e.g., for final changes before your migration), you can find it here:
