In this article, we’ll give you an overview of the Plesk interface to show you how to use Plesk. Plesk allows web hosting customers to perform many different tasks with their easy-to-use interface. You can create and manage websites, mailboxes, databases, and more. Let’s take a close look at how the interface is arranged.
1. Username: This section displays the name of the user who’s currently logged in, along with the currently selected subscription. The user is able to change the properties of their user account and select the subscription they want to manage.
2. Help: This section contains the Help menu, which lets users access an online guide and watch video tutorials.
3. Search: This section contains the Search field.
4. Websites & Domains: The first section of the navigation panel is Websites & Domains. Tools in this page allow users to add and remove domains, subdomains, and domain aliases. They also enable users to manage website settings, create and manage databases and database users, change their DNS settings, and secure their websites with SSL/TLS certificates.
