Getting Started with Plesk

This guide shows how to log in to Plesk Obsidian for the first time on a server where you installed Plesk via the PowerPanel. You open the web interface on port 8443 and sign in with your server's root credentials (Linux) or Administrator credentials (Windows Server).

Your Login Credentials

To log into the Plesk interface for the first time, please use your server's root credentials (Linux) or Administrator credentials (Windows Server, dedicated servers only):

Username

root

Windows: Administrator

Password

The password you set in the PowerPanel during the OS selection process.

Accessing the Plesk Web UI

Once you have your credentials ready, you can access Plesk via your web browser. By default, it operates on port 8443:

Option A: Via IP Address

https://[your-server-ip]:8443

Option B: Via Hostname

https://[your-hostname]:8443

Security Note: Since Plesk initially uses a self-signed certificate, your browser will display a warning. Click on "Advanced" and then "Proceed to [IP] (unsafe)" to continue.

Issues after installation?

If there are any problems directly after the new installation, please open a support ticket in your PowerPanel.
