This article describes the steps for the initial setup of a website using the Plesk administration tool. First, log in and navigate to the "Website Builder." There, activate the first page that appears in the overview list. You can adjust the assigned package and the domain allocation. In the editing editor, select a design template and continue building the site. Publication is done by default on a preview subdomain. To publish the website under your own domain, please refer to another article.
To perform the initial setup of a website, please proceed as follows:
- Log in to the Plesk administration tool
- Navigate to the "Website Builder" menu:
- Select the "Activate" function to create the first page:
- You will now see the first page in the overview list:
In addition to viewing the current usage of the assigned quota, under "Domain" you will see the created
preview address and the assigned package ("Package"). By default, the smallest available
package is assigned. Also, by default, the main domain of the subscription is assigned (mapping). This can be adjusted at any time under "Manage." Activation/go-live itself is done via DNS entry.
- With "Login" you switch to the editing editor of the Website Builder environment.
- With "Manage" you can change the assigned package ("Change Plan") or adjust the domain allocation (this can also be done at any time within the editor itself).
- With "Delete" you completely and irrevocably remove the Website Builder page.
- With "Create" you can create additional websites, provided the quota allows it.
- Now log in with "Login" to the editor for the initial setup.
- You can now choose a design template.
- After that, you are in the editor and can continue building your pages. Basic settings can be made under "Manage" -> "Profile."
- When you are ready, the page can be published accordingly. By default, this is done on a preview subdomain under *.web.host.ch.
