Complete Guide to Plesk

Accessing Plesk is very easy; all you have to do is open your browser and type the server name followed by port 8443, which is the default port set by the tool itself: https://ejemplo.com:8443/

Next, enter your username and password:

If you want to change the language in Plesk, go to “Tools and Settings” (or “Herramientas y Configuración” in Spanish) in the left sidebar.

Then, in the “Plesk Appearance” section, select “Languages.”

In this example, we’ll set the language to Spanish. Select the line that says: es-ES SPANISH, then click “Make Default” to set it as the default language.

Now all that’s left is to log out and log back into Plesk so that the changes take effect in your control panel.

If you want to change the appearance of your dashboard, select “Tools and Settings” (in Spanish) from the left sidebar.

Once there, click on “Skins and Color Schemes” under “Plesk Appearance.”

Once selected, click the “Keep this color scheme” button:

If your web hosting plan includes more than one domain name (website), you can easily add new domains to the server.

PAUSE:Before performing this step, you need to have this domain registered. You can register a new domain here

To create a new domain, go to the “Websites & Domains” page in the Plesk control panel and click “Add Domain”:

Next, fill in the following fields:

• Domain Name: Enter the domain name you want to add.
• Website file location: Select the location where you want to add your domain.
• DNS server settings: Check the “Enable DNS service” option .
• Hosting type: Check “Website hosting.”
• Document root: This will be the directory that contains all of our website’s files.
• Preferred domain: Leave the option set to “None.”

Click “OK” and verify that the domain has been created correctly.

First, go to the "Websites & Domains" page on your Plesk control panel and click "Add New Subdomain":

Next, we’ll configure the following fields:

• Subdomain Name: In the first field, enter the name you want for your subdomain; in the second field, select the domain to which you want to add the subdomain you’re creating.
• Document root: Enter the path where all the subdomain’s files will be hosted (if you leave it as the default, it will be the subdomain’s name).

Now click “OK,” and the new subdomain will be created.

A domain alias is a domain name that acts as a mirror of another domain. It will display the same website as the original domain.

Domain aliases allow you to point multiple domain names to the same website. This can be useful, for example, for identification purposes.

Steps to add a new domain alias:

From the main Plesk “Websites & Domains” panel, click “Add Domain Alias”:

Next, fill in the following fields:

• Domain Alias Name: Enter the name of the domain alias you want to add.
• For the domain: Select the domain to which the alias redirects.
• Synchronize the DNS zone with the primary domain: Make sure this box is checked.
• Email service: This box must be checked.
• Web service: This box must be checked.
• Redirect with HTTP 301 status code: This box must be checked.

Click “OK,” and the alias will be created.

If you want to change the PHP version for one or more domains using Plesk, select "Websites & Domains" from the left sidebar. Select the domain you want to change, and then click " PHP Settings."

Now you can select the PHP version

Now choose the PHP version from the drop-down menu (as shown in the image below) and save:

To create an email account in the Plesk control panel, select the "Mail" section, go to the "Email Addresses" tab , and click the "Create Email Address" button .

Next, fill in the following fields:

• Email Address: Enter an address and select the domain to which the email belongs.
• Control Panel Access: Check this box if you want the email account you’re creating to have access to the control panel.
• Password.
• Make sure the “Mailbox” checkbox is selected.
• You can set the available storage space for emails and the maximum number of outgoing emails.Click “OK”:

PAUSE: If you need to set up your email account in Gmail, Thunderbird, or Outlook Hotmail, here’s a link to the guides on our blog

Aliases are secondary email accounts linked to a primary email account; all emails sent to accounts set up as aliases will be delivered to the primary account:

Here are the steps to add an email alias:

In the Mail section of the Plesk control panel, select the email account for which you want to create an alias on the Email Addresses tab

Next, go to the “Email Aliases” tab, add a new alias address, and click the “Apply” button.

If you need to change the password for an email account, here's how:

Select the "Email" tab and click the email address for which you want to change the password

Fill in the “Password” and “Confirm Password” fields, then click “OK.”

A mailing list is a group email address to which a number of users are subscribed. Mailing lists are used to send email messages to multiple recipients at once. Emails sent to list subscribers can range from plain text to colorful newsletters and promotions with embedded images and attached multimedia links or presentation materials.

How does it work? You create an email address for a mailing list in Plesk, and users subscribe to it. Then, when a message is sent to the list’s address, all subscribers receive it.

To set up a mailing list and subscribe users to it:

• If you have access to multiple subscriptions, select the desired subscription from the subscription box at the top of the screen. Alternatively, to view all your subscriptions, select “All Subscriptions.”
• Go to the “Mail” tab >> “Mailing Lists.”
• Click “Create Mailing List.”
• Enter the mailing list address, and if you have multiple websites, select the website where the mailing list will be created. To subscribe users to the mailing list, enter their email addresses, one per line.
• To notify the mail administrator about the creation of the mailing list, select the “Notify administrator when creating the mailing list” checkbox .
• Click “OK.”

To subscribe or unsubscribe users:

• Go to the “Mail” tab >> “Mailing Lists.”
• Click the list address.

Do one of the following:

• To subscribe users to the mailing list, enter their email addresses in the subscribers field, one address per line.
• To unsubscribe users, remove their addresses from the “Subscribers” field .
• Click “OK.”

To delete a mailing list:

• Go to the "Mail" tab >> "Mailing Lists."
• Check the box next to the mailing list you want to delete and click "Remove."
• To confirm the deletion, click Yes.

To disable the mailing list service and all mailing lists created under the currently selected subscription:

• Go to the "Mail" tab >> "Mailing Lists."
• Click “Deactivate Service.”

To enable the mailing list service for the currently selected subscription:

• Go to the “Mail” tab >> “Mailing Lists.”
• Click “Enable Service.”

First, we need to go to the “Mail” section .

Once there, select one of the email addresses you’ve created:

A window will open. Select the “Forwarding” section and click “Enable Email Forwarding.” You can also specify the email address to which you want all forwarded emails to be sent. See below:

To view statistics for your Plesk account—such as used hard drive space or data transfer—simply go to the “Statistics” section and a window will open on the right where you can view basic statistics such as “Disk Space” or “Traffic.”

Additionally, if you select the “Data Transfer Statistics” option, you can view more detailed monthly reports on the traffic being used.

From the Plesk dashboard homepage, click the “Mail” tab .

1. Select the email account for which you want to set up an auto-reply:.
2. Click the “Autoresponse” tab.

• Check the “Enable Auto-Reply” box .
• Subject of the auto-reply message: Here you can enter the subject for the auto-reply.
• Message format: Plain text.
• Encoding: Leave it set to UTF-8.
• Autoresponse message text: Enter the text of the message.
• Forward to: If you want to forward incoming messages to another email address, enter it here.
• Send an Auto-Reply: The default value is “1 time per day,” which means that if multiple messages are received from the same email address in a single day, Plesk will send an auto-reply only for the first message. If the value is “2,” Plesk will send an auto-reply for the first and second messages, and so on.

You can also attach a file to the automatic reply message. Once you’ve filled in all the fields, click “OK.”

To enable email forwarding from one account to another, go to the "Mail" tab in the Plesk control panel and click the account for which you want to enable forwarding:

Now go to the “Redirects” tab and check the “Enable email forwarding” box :

Next, enter the email account to which you want to forward messages. You can enter more than one email account, then click the “Apply” button :

If you want this email account (administrador@creardominio.es) to not save any emails that are being forwarded, go to the “General” tab , uncheck the “Inbox” box, and click “OK.”

And now you can see that automatic replies are enabled for that account:

Your hosting provider may set limits on the number of outgoing emails per hour, usually to help prevent spam. Each subscription, domain, and mailbox has its own limits. By default, the limit values are set by the hosting provider. You may need to increase the limits to send more emails, or decrease them to prevent an excess of outgoing mail.

Note: The options described below are displayed only if outbound email limits are enabled by your hosting provider. Additionally, some limits may not be available (for example, the limit on the number of outbound emails from a mailbox), depending on the mail server used in Plesk.

How to set limits on the number of outgoing emails for a domain:

Go to “Websites & Domains” >> “Mail” and select one or more domains for which you want to change the limit by checking the corresponding checkboxes.

Click “Limit Outgoing Email” on the toolbar.

Edit the limit in the outgoing messages field and click “OK”:

To set limits on the number of outgoing email messages for a mailbox:

From the “Mail” tab , click on the email account, check the “Custom value for the mailbox” box, and specify the number of outgoing emails:

You can also limit all emails related to a domain:

Go to the “Mail” tab >> “Mail Settings” >> “Edit Limit”:

Then edit the limit on outgoing messages:

1. From the Plesk panel, go to the "Mail" tab.
2. Select the email account for which you want to enable the anti-spam filter: .
3. Select the “Anti-Spam Filter” tab :
4. Check the box labeled “Enable anti-spam filter for this email address”:
5. You can also specify what should be done with incoming emails that are considered spam.
6. Once this is configured, click “OK,” and if you want to configure additional settings for the spam filter, click “Show Advanced Settings.”

In the advanced settings, you can select the following options:

• Specify the sensitivity of the spam filter.
• Add domains from which you receive email containing important information to the “whitelist” so that the spam filter doesn’t classify them as spam.
• Add the domains from which you receive junk mail or spam to the “blacklist.”

How can we add a specific domain to these lists?

Example: Type *@domain.com, or if you want to specify a particular account on a domain, type usuario@*.com

NOTE:

If you access your mailbox via the IMAP protocol, you must select the option “Move spam to the Spam folder” so that spam messages appear in the correct folder.

Since all messages are automatically deleted from the spam folder after 30 days, you’ll need to check the contents of the spam folder regularly so you don’t miss any important messages and can move them to your inbox.

When you select the “Move spam to the Spam folder” option, you can train the spam filter and improve its accuracy by moving spam messages from the Spam folder to the Inbox and non-spam messages from the Inbox to the Spam folder.

If you need to adjust the spam filter’s sensitivity, click “Show advanced settings,” and enter the number of points a message must reach to be considered spam.

If you need to save emails from specific senders, email addresses, or domain names, you can add them to the whitelist field.

With Plesk, we can create and delete databases. Here's how:

1. Go to the “Websites & Domains” section and select the “Databases” option :.
2. Now click “Add New Database”: .
3. Fill in the following fields:
• Database name: If your subscription grants you the appropriate permissions, you can choose a database type and the database server where you want to create it.
• Select the option to create a user in the database: Enter the username and password. You can also assign permissions to this new user. Remember that a database must have at least one registered user to be accessible.
4. Once you click “Accept,” you should be able to see your database in its respective domain, as shown in the image below.

To access the database in Plesk, you must enter the name of a user account associated with it.

Any database user can be set as the default for a database. Plesk always accesses the database using the default user’s credentials, even if there are other users associated with the database. If a database has multiple associated user accounts and none of them is set as the default, the first account in the list will be used.

There are two types of database user accounts in Plesk:

• User accounts with access to a single database: If you collaborate with others on managing a website and want to grant them access to the database, you must create user accounts for each of them. Each of these accounts is used to access a single database. In this case, you must first create a database and then create the user accounts.
• Universal user accounts that have access to all databases. Universal users have access not only to all existing databases but also to all newly created databases.

If you plan to install a number of web applications on your site, it might be convenient to create a universal user account so that all applications can access their databases using this account. In this case, you must first create a user account and then specify the application installations.

Note: A universal user operates only within a single database server. If you use multiple database servers, create a separate universal user account for each server.

1. Select “Databases” from the left sidebar at.
2. Select the “User Management” option ..
3. To add a new user, click “Add Database User”.
4. Fill in the following fields:
5. Database username: Your username.
6. Password: The user’s password.
7. Database: Select the specific database you want to associate the new user with. Note: If you want to create a universal database user, select “Any”.

Notes:

1. You can delete a default database user only by deleting the database associated with that user. Alternatively, you can edit the user and uncheck the “Default User” checkbox for that database, and then delete the user.
2. If a database user was created by an APS application, you can remove this user only by deleting the respective application in Access Settings.

Starting with Parallels Plesk Panel 12.0, you can allow or deny remote access to a database, or allow access only from specified hosts. Access settings apply to individual database user accounts. For more information, see the section on Configuring Custom Access Rules.

Plesk allows you to copy databases from one database server registered in Plesk to another, as well as to any remote server, provided that the source and destination servers are of the same type (for example, MySQL).

To copy a database, select “Websites & Domains” >> “Databases” >> “Copy”:

You must specify the destination server, the subscription, and the database name. For a remote server, select “Other” from the list of destination database servers and provide the following additional information:

• Hostname or IP address of the remote database server.
• Username and password of the remote database server administrator. (For example, the MySQL administrator credentials.)
• Copy Types: When copying a database, you can choose to create a full database copy that includes table data (the “Create a full copy” option), or copy only the database structure (in the latter case, Plesk will create tables without data in the destination database).

NOTE:

When you select an existing database as the destination, any tables in the destination database whose names also appear in the source database will be overwritten.

To access the phpMyAdmin database in the Plesk Panel:

1. Using the WebAdmin link under the “Websites & Domains” >> “Databases” tabs, select the database and then “phpMyAdmin.”.
2. The phpMyAdmin window will open..

In this case, Plesk automatically uses the appropriate database user credentials.

If you need to access your database using other tools (such as SQL Server Management Studio) or want to grant other applications access to it, you’ll need to provide the necessary credentials for those tools and applications. Here’s how:

• To connect to MySQL and PostgreSQL, you’ll need to provide the hostname (or IP address), the database username, and the password.
• To connect to Microsoft SQL Server, you’ll also need to specify the Microsoft SQL Server instance. For Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Plesk uses the instance named MSSQLSERVER2008. Therefore, the host can be specified as mydomain.com\MSSQLSERVER2008 or 123.123.123.123\MSSQLSERVER2008. For Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Plesk uses the default instance (MSSQL 2005), and you do not need to specify the instance name.

In Plesk, you can export or import a database. Here's how:

• Exporting a database: Save a source database to a file that can be used for storage or distribution.

One reason for exporting databases is security. While Plesk for Windows offers a different feature for database backups, in Plesk for Linux, exporting is the only option for creating standalone database backup files.

Additionally, databases can be backed up along with other data during subscription backups and then restored separately. See the Backup and Restore section of the Websites page for more information.

• Importing a Database: Restore data from the file to a destination database. You can import a database to the same or a different database server. The only restriction is that the destination database must be of the same type, for example, MySQL.

To export a database in the Plesk control panel, click "Export Dump" and then select the folder or directory where the database export will be saved.

To import, click "Import Dump, " then select the file from your computer to complete the import.

Note: It is recommended that you import the data into a new database.

For instructions on how to import and export data using database management tools, refer to the help sections for those tools.

To back up all data related to your account and all your subscriptions:

1. If you have access to multiple subscriptions, select the desired subscription from the subscription box at the top of the screen. Alternatively, to view the sites for all your subscriptions, select “All Subscriptions.”
2. On the “Account” tab, select “Back up my account and websites”.
3. Now make sure you’re on the “Server Repository” tab and click “Copy”:.
4. Next, fill in the following fields:
• Backup name prefix: You cannot specify an arbitrary filename, but you can configure Plesk to add a prefix to backup filenames. (Note that Plesk automatically adds the date and time the backup file was created (in Coordinated Universal Time) to the backup file names.)
• Comment: A brief description of the backup.
• Create a multi-volume backup: Splits the backup file into multiple volumes. To create a multi-volume backup, check the box and specify the volume size in megabytes.
• Save the backup to: The location where you want to save the backup file.
• Send an email to: Email notification upon completion of the backup. If you want to receive notifications when a backup is completed, enter your email address.
• Backup contents: You can back up either just the account settings or the account and all data (including databases).
• Suspend domains until the backup task is complete: Select this option to prevent users from making changes to the content or settings of websites while they are being backed up.

Note:

If you select this last option, once the backup is restored, you will need to manually change each domain alias for every site that requires a domain alias. This can be done under the Websites & Domains tab > domain alias name > Enable.

Click Copy.

5. When the backup is complete, the backup file will be saved to the selected repository..
6. The backup we just created appears in the “Server Repository” tab:

If you prefer to schedule regular backups in Plesk:

1. On the "Tools & Settings" tab , select "Backup Management":.
2. Next, click “Schedule”.
3. Now configure the following settings:
• Check the box next to “Enable this backup task.”
• Perform a full backup: Choose how often you want the backup to run: You can choose between “Daily, ” “Weekly, ” or “Monthly” (If you select “Daily,” you’ll need to specify the time the backup will start; if “Weekly,” specify the day of the week and the time; and if “Monthly,” specify the day of the month and the time)
• Add a prefix to the backup name: Enter a name for the backup.
• Maximum number of backups in the repository: Enter a number if you want to rotate the backup files: When this limit is reached, the oldest backup files will be deleted.
• Backup content: Select what you want to includein the backup. Check “Client content and settings.” You can also back up only account settings or specific items such as databases or files.
• Send an email if an error occurs during the backup process: Select this option if you want to be notified by email in case an error occurs during the backup.
• Suspend domains until the backup task is complete: Select this option to prevent users from making changes to the content or settings of the websites while they are being backed up.
4. Here we can see that the backup has been scheduled correctly:

We can use FTP storage to save our backups off the server on an FTP server, which is a way to save space on the server.

In the last option (FTP Storage Settings), specify the settings for your personal remote FTP storage where the backup files should be saved.

To restore a backup from the server repository:

1. On the “Account” tab, select “Back up my account and websites”:
2. Next, select the backup you want to restore from (if you have more than one):.
3. Select the items you want to restore:

Select the “Entire System (Full Restore)” option. If, for example, you need to restore one or more domains but leave other domains intact, you must select the specific domains you want to restore.

You can restore data from backup files stored in:

The internal Plesk repository: To restore backup files from the Parallels Plesk Panel repository, select the name of the backup file you want to restore on the Account tab > Back Up My Account and Websites > Repository Server tab.

An external FTP repository: To restore backup files from the Parallels Plesk Panel repository, select the name of the backup file you want to restore on the Account tab > Back Up My Account and Websites > Personal FTP Repository tab.

4. After you select a backup file name from the list of backups, Plesk launches the restore wizard.

Select data to restore

Note:

Starting with Parallels Plesk Panel 12.0, you can select which objects to restore from a backup. You can restore a specific site, file, database, and so on. This will help you restore only what you need, without overwriting other objects. For example, if you want to restore only the DNS zone for a domain, such as example.tld, there is no need to restore the settings for all other domains. Restoring selected objects is possible only from backups created in Parallels Plesk Panel 12.0 or later.

To restore all objects: Select the "Entire System (Full Restore)" option.

If prompted, specify the data types to restore, such as domain settings, virtual host content, databases, or mail settings and accounts. For example, if you select mail settings, the mail settings for all domains will be restored.

To restore specific objects of a particular type, such as a mailbox or a domain’s DNS zone:

• Select the "Select Objects" option.
• Select the type of object you want to restore. For example, the database.
• Select the subscription to which the object belongs in the Subscription box (applicable to all object types except subscriptions). Click the box to view the list of all subscriptions, or type the first few letters of the subscription name, and Plesk will find matches. For example, example.com.
• Select one or more objects of the selected type. For example, wordpress_database_8.

Specify restore options:

“Suspend domains until the restore task is complete.” Select this option if you want to avoid potential conflicts that may occur when users modify site content or settings while the sites are being restored.

“Send an email notification once the restoration is complete”: Enter your email address if you want the control panel to notify you when the restoration is complete.

If you choose the “Selected objects” option, you can select the types of objects you want to restore:

And if you choose the “Entire system (full restore)” option .

Select the items you want to restore—by default, both “Customer Account Settings” and “Customer Domains” are checked—and click “Restore”:

We can see that the restoration has already begun; we’ll wait a few minutes for it to finish:

Once the restoration process is complete, the following message appears:

Installing Applications.

Depending on your needs and level of experience, you can choose one of the following ways to install an app:

Quick: This is the easiest way to install an application. If you choose this option, Plesk will perform a typical installation of the latest version of the selected application, using the default settings for the application configuration. For example, your Plesk login credentials will be used as the application administrator credentials.

Note: Some applications require you to specify certain settings, even if you select the quick installation. Custom: This option allows you to customize application installation settings, such as administrator credentials, installation location, installation path, and more. In particular, you should use the custom installation if you want to disable automatic application updates.

To install an application:

Select the “Apps” tab and find the app you need.

Click the “Install” button for a quick installation or “Install (Custom)” for a custom installation.

Example:

Sometimes, you may need to install a specific version of an app. For example, if you want to use app extensions that aren’t compatible with the latest version of the app. In this case, click on the “app name,” select “Choose a different version, ” and then choose the version you need. Next, install the app.

Example:

Note: For commercial applications, you need to obtain a license key; click “Buy Now” before starting the installation. For more information on using commercial applications, see the Commercial Application License Management section.

Application Management:.

If an application provides part of its Plesk functionality through services, you have the option to configure them. For example, the SugarCRM application allows you to create user accounts and provides this capability as a service in the control panel. After selecting this service from the available services, you can view all user accounts for the application and create new ones. For some applications, you can associate application accounts with auxiliary user accounts. Learn more about account association in the Linking Applications and Auxiliary User Accounts section.

Note: If the WordPress Toolkit is installed on the server, users are encouraged to use it for centralized management of WordPress installations on the server.

Granting Auxiliary Users Access to Applications:

By default, after installing an app, only users with the owner role can access it. To allow other users in the subscription to access the app:

Grant permission to access the application to a specific group of users under Users >> User Roles. Be sure to add the users of your choice to the group.

Once you allow users to access the app, a link to the app appears on their websites and domains with the name of the corresponding web page. Please note that you can only control app access for user groups, so you must either modify the permissions of an existing group or create a new one, and then assign users to it.

Applications: Linking auxiliary user accounts:.

Some applications allow you to create and manage user accounts without logging out of the application. If an application provides this type of account service, you can link users from a Plesk subscription to accounts in the application. To perform this linking:

Organize users into a specific group(Users >> User Roles).

Grant one of these group permissions:

Public access.
If granted, all users in the group will have access to the app via the link on the Websites and Domains page.
Personal access.
If granted, the app will automatically create accounts for all users in the group. After that, the Websites and Domains page will contain an additional link allowing users to log in to a personal account in the app. Please note that if personal access permission is denied, the application will automatically delete all accounts associated with this group.

Upgrade applications.

Automatic updates.

By default, Plesk installs the latest available application versions and updates as soon as new versions are released. However, updating an application can significantly change its functionality: For example, plug-ins or extensions developed for a specific version of the application may be incompatible with newer versions. Therefore, you may want to disable automatic updates for the application.

To enable or disable automatic updates:

Go to Applications >> Manage My Applications and click the application name.

Example:

Click on Settings:.

Select or deselect the option "Automatically update this app when updates are available."

If you disable automatic updates for an app, Plesk will notify you of the availability of newer versions by adding an "Update" link under the app's name in Apps >> Manage My Apps.
