Enabling the ICP permit functionality allows you
to do the following:
- Grant or revoke the “ICP permit approved” status to any domain,
subdomain, or domain alias. Domains that have not been granted the
“ICP permit approved” status are unavailable, though Plesk users can
still view them via the site preview functionality. - Set the ICP permit ID for any domain, subdomain, or domain alias.
Both the ICP permit status and the ICP permit ID are clearly visible
in the Plesk GUI.
Note: Plesk does not check the validity of permits, it merely blocks or
allows domains based on their “ICP permit approved” status. In other
words, even if you grant the “ICP permit approved” status to a
domain, it will be blocked by the Chinese Internet providers if the
permit is not valid.
The proposed usage scenario looks like this:
- A customer creates a domain in Plesk. At this moment the domain is
blocked by Plesk, as no permit is installed. - The customer provides the necessary information to the hosting
provider, who then files a request for an ICP permit on the
customer’s behalf. - If the permit is denied, most likely the information provided by the
customer was incomplete or wrong. The hosting provider clarifies this
with the customer, than re-submits the request. - If the permit is approved, the hosting provider notifies the customer
and tells them the permit ID. - The customer adds the permit ID to their website’s footer and
notifies the hosting provider. - The hosting provider associates the permit with the customer’s
website in Plesk and unblocks the website.
