Getting Started with Plesk – Plesk User Interface Explained

 
getting started with pleskquick start guideuser interfacedatabasedns

Different users in Plesk have very different needs and usage scenarios.
While the provider may need to set up service plans and configure
server-wide settings, a customer may need to create a database or change
PHP settings for one of their domains. To accommodate every party, Plesk
provides two different panels, described below:

  • The Customer Panel is focused on web hosting operations and
    features the tools necessary to create and manage websites,
    mailboxes, and so on. This panel is designed for hosting customers.
  • The Power User view includes all the tools available in the
    Customer Panel, as well as the tools that enable server-wide settings
    to be managed. This view is best suited for server administrators
    hosting their own websites, and web studios that manage websites of
    their customers.

Both panels allow management of subscriptions.

Because this guide is meant for shared hosting customers and web
designers who host their customers’ websites, we will focus on the Power
User view. Let us examine a screenshot displaying Plesk in Power User
view.

  1. This section displays the name of the user who is currently logged
    in, and the currently selected subscription. The user can change the
    properties of their user account and choose what subscription they
    want to manage.
  2. This section contains the Help menu. The Help menu lets users
    access a context-sensitive online guide and watch video tutorials.
  3. This section features the Search field.
  4. This section holds the navigation pane that helps to organize the
    Plesk interface. Tools are grouped by function, for example, the
    tools enabling users to manage web hosting settings are found on the
    Websites & Domains page, and those enabling users to manage mail
    accounts are found on the Mail page. Here is a short description
    of all the tabs and their functionality:

    • Websites & Domains. The tools here enable customers to add and
      remove domains, subdomains, and domain aliases. They also enable
      them to manage various web hosting settings, create and manage
      databases and database users, change their DNS settings, and
      secure their websites with SSL/TLS certificates.
    • Mail. The tools here enable customers to add and remove mail
      accounts, as well as manage mail server settings.
    • Applications. The tools here enable customers to easily
      install and manage a wide range of web applications.
    • Files. This item features a web-based file manager that
      enables customers to…
