Open and Log In to Your Plesk Panel

What is Plesk?

Plesk is a control panel. A control panel is a dashboard for your hosting. From it you can manage your website, email, files and databases. It is like the control room of a building.

Not every plan has Plesk. Check your welcome email or ask Hostvento support.

What you need

• The Plesk address (URL) for your server.
• Your Plesk username and password.

Both are in your welcome email. If you cannot find them, ask Hostvento support.

Steps

1. Open a web browser.
2. Type the Plesk address in the address bar. It often looks like https://yourdomain.com:8443 or uses your server name with :8443. The number 8443 is the door (port) that Plesk uses.
3. Press Enter.
4. If the browser shows a security warning, check the address. Your server may use a certificate the browser does not know. Continue only if the address is exactly the one from your welcome email.
5. Type your Username.
6. Type your Password.
7. Click Log in.

You will see the Plesk home screen. Use the menu on the left. Websites & Domains is where you will spend most of your time.

Another way in

1. Go to the Hostvento client area and log in.
2. Open the Services menu and click My Services.
3. Click your hosting service.
4. Look for a login button for the control panel, if your plan shows one.

If you cannot log in

• Check that Caps Lock is off.
• Click Forgot your password? on the Plesk login page, if shown.

  

• Try another browser or a private window.
• Open a support ticket. Never share your password in public.

Quick recap

• Plesk is a dashboard for your hosting.
• Find the address and login in your welcome email.
• Go to the address, then enter your username and password.

  

• Ask support if the details are lost.
