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.
