Question

How to change Default Server Page for domains in disabled status?

Answer

Note: The default server page is shown in case if the domain is disabled or the server’s IP address is specified in the address bar and “Customize Plesk URL” is not active with “All domains and subdomains that resolve to the server IP address but are not used for hosting” option.

To enable default server page:

Log in to Plesk
Go to Tools & Settings > IP Addresses and click the IP address to edit its settings.
Set Default siteoption to None

To customize the default page:

Log in to Plesk server via SSH or RDP
Edit or replace the file /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/index.html (Plesk for Linux) or %plesk_vhosts%defaulthtdocsindex.html (Plesk for Windows).

Warning: it’s not recommended to place index.php to default web server website document root as it may break Plesk installation
