Question

How to switch a domain to nginx-only hosting (without Apache) in Plesk?

Answer

After switching a domain to nginx-only hosting:

Check if the website is working with nginx.
Websites that use rewrite rules in the .htaccess file may not work properly, because the .htaccess file is not processed by nginx. For more information, visit this KB article.
Webmail will continue working on Apache.

Switching on nginx-only hosting for a domain

Log in to Plesk.
Go to Domains > example.com > Apache & nginx Settings.
In the nginx settings section, disable the Proxy mode setting.
Apply the changes.

Switching on nginx-only hosting for all new domains under a service plan

Log in to Plesk.
Go to Service Plans> Example Plan > Web Server tab.
In the nginx settings section, disable the Proxy mode setting.
Click Update & Sync.
