Plesk Panel Linux Installation and Initial Settings

How to Install Plesk Panel on Your Linux Server?

Plesk Panel, which allows you to easily manage your websites and server entirely with a graphical interface, is a popular hosting control panel that runs on both Linux and Windows systems. Installing Plesk on a newly rented virtual server actually requires just a single command.

Installation Requirements

• A clean operating system (Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 or AlmaLinux 8/9 is recommended)
• Minimum 2 GB RAM
• A purchased Plesk license or a 15-day trial version key

Step 1: Running the Installation Command

Connect to your server via SSH as the root user. Then copy and paste the official Plesk One-Click Installer command below:

sh <(curl https://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer || wget -O - https://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer)

This command will automatically download and install all the components your server needs (Nginx, Apache, PHP, MySQL, Postfix). The installation takes an average of 15-30 minutes depending on your server speed.

Step 2: First Access to the Plesk Interface

When the installation screen is complete, a one-time login link will appear in your terminal. Copy this link and paste it into your browser. Usually, the access address is as follows:

https://your-server-ip:8443

Step 3: Initial Settings and Licensing

After logging into the panel, the initial configuration wizard welcomes you:

• Administrator Information: Set a new administrator password and email address.
• License: Enter your license key or check the option "proceed with a full-featured trial license".
• View: If you are a corporate service provider, select the "Service Provider" view; if you are going to host your own sites, select the "Power User" view.
