Question
How to change the main (primary) IP address of a Plesk for Windows server which is displayed on the Home/Websites & Domains page?
Answer
There is no main IP address on Plesk for Windows servers. The IP address displayed on the Home page is the first IP that was added to the server.
The ability to change the IP Address on the Home page is yet to be implemented. Vote for this feature on the Plesk UserVoice portal.
As a workaround
To change the IP address shown on the Home page:
