On October 19, 2021, we have enabled single-sign-on for our Plesk Support Center to provide a seamless login/account experience. This implies that you’ll be able to use a single account across any of our web-facing properties.
If you had already registered your account at Plesk 360 (formerly known as My Plesk) please use one for login. Otherwise please re-register it using the same email address as your existing Zendesk login (support account). It’s essential that you use the same email address on our support center to ensure that your tickets stay attached to the same account.

Question

How to access a domain using the IP address instead of the domain name like http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx?

Answer

To specify which website will open when users refer to the web resource on your server by an IP address:

  1. Log in to Plesk.

  2. Go to Tools & Settings > IP addresses > <domain_ip>> Default site.
    All sites hosted on this IP address will be listed.

  3. Click the address assigned to the website and select the Default site from the drop-down list, select the required one and click OK.

    Set domain here

    Note: The default server page will be shown if the Default site option is set to None.

Additionally, it is possible to set the default domain using the command line on Plesk Onyx. Connect to the server via SSH or RDP and execute the following command (substitute example.com with the necessary domain name):

# plesk bin subscription_settings --set-default example.com

    After adding a new domain, the default domain was automatically set to this new domain. The default domain is set under Tools and Settings-> Ip Addresses. How can this be prevented. We would like the default domain to remain fixed

    We would like to be able to set the default domain from the command line. You have mentioned that the command: plesk bin subscription_settings --set-default example.com can be used to set the default domain.

    How can we use this command to set the default domain to 'None'. The following command does not work:

    [root@vm14558 ~]# plesk bin subscription_settings --set-default None
    Wrong syntax for command's '-set-default' parameter


    exit status 1

    Hello Nadir,

    > After adding a new domain, the default domain was automatically set to this new domain. The default domain is set under Tools and Settings-> Ip Addresses. How can this be prevented. We would like the default domain to remain fixed
    This may happen only if you create a subscription and assign it to a dedicated IP address. This is implemented this way intentionally.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to unset the default domain for an IP address from command line interface. The only possible way is to do it in Plesk GUI.
