The table below shows the list of directories that Plesk creates for
each virtual host. Note that Plesk does not add all the directories by
default. It creates some of the directories only when the website owner
needs them. Such directories are marked as created On demand. For
example, after a customer adds a website, it does not have the
/web_users directory. Plesk will create it only after the customer
adds their first web user.
