Where do I go
to log into my Web based Plesk
Control Panel ?
https://your-domain.com:8443/
(do not
forget the "s" in "https" !)
Log on with your domain name
as the username (e.g. "mydomain.com").
You will be able to log on
immediately after we have
created an account for you (before
your new domain or your domain's
DNS change has propagated
Internet-wide); you can upload
your site but can only view it
via the preview function (see "Tips
and Suggestions" section below)
until the domain name has
propagated Internet-wide.
Plesk Control Panel Guide:
To upload your site before your
domain name has propagated, you
can use the shared IP
instead of your domain name:
212.72.165.77, with your
assigned username and password.
Most Important Path Info
(you need this if installing CGI
and other scripts):
What is the path to Perl?
/usr/bin/perl
In most CGI scripts the standard
path line is therefore: #!/usr/bin/perl
And the path(s) to sendmail?
/usr/lib/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail
Where to Do I Upload My Files?
Your Website's HTML and image
files go into the httpdocs
folder.
(with exception of secure files
which go into the secure
directory)
The absolute path (if ever
needed) is:
/home/httpd/vhosts/YourDomain.com/httpdocs
(This is equivalent to the "public_html"
folder on many other servers.)
Your Website's CGI scripts (if
any) go into the cgi-bin
folder.
PLEASE READ THE "CGI-BIN" ENTRY
IN OUR "TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS"
SECTION BELOW.
The absolute path is:
/home/httpd/vhosts/YourDomain.com/cgi-bin
In other words, the CGI-BIN
folder is outsite the main
folder.
PLEASE
NOTE: You can
execute CGI scripts in any
directory, not just the cgi-bin
directory !
Preview New Websites (whose
Domain Registrations or DNS
Updates Have not Resolved):
Click the "Site Preview"
button in the Plesk control
panel.
Setting Up E-mail:
1. Log in to your account's
control panel.
2. Click the 'MAIL' tab.
3. Type the username for this
e-mail account in the 'Mailname:'
field; click 'ADD' tab.
4. Check 'Mailbox' and enter the
password for this e-mail account
in both fields.
Decide if you want to limit
the space for this e-mail
account (taken from
the space of your main
account).
Click 'UPDATE' (near bottom)
tab.
You can add forwarder etc. later
-- just click on your e-mail
username after havingclicked on
the 'MAIL' tab first.
How to Check Mail via 'Webmail'
Interface?
Log on to:
http://webmail.<YourDomain.com>
Simply insert 'webmail.' before
your domain name when typing the
URL. Log on using the particular
username and password for the
email account you want to check.
You can choose the language of
your interface.
Outlook, Eudora, and Other
POP E-Mail Programs:
The basic settings for these
should be:
Mail Server:
YourDomain.com
or
mail.YourDomain.com
SMTP:
YourDomain.com
or
mail.YourDomain.com
...whereby
'YourDomain.com' stands as a
placeholder for your actual
domain name
Username: <Your
e-mail username for this e-mail
account>
Password: <Your
e-mail password for this e-mail
account>
