Getting Started with Plesk

> Goal: get a domain serving a simple webpage from your Plesk server.

You need

1. A domain name.

2. Access to your Plesk panel.

3. DNS control (where your domain is managed).

Steps

1. In Plesk, go to **Websites & Domains**.

2. Click **Add Domain**.

3. Choose website hosting.

4. Open **File Manager** and upload an `index.html` into `httpdocs`.

Example test page

<h1>It works!</h1>
<p>My first Plesk website.</p>

Common mistakes

• Uploading files outside `httpdocs`.
• DNS not pointing to your server yet (needs time to propagate).

• SSL/TLS Certificates
• Domains & DNS Basics
