How do I login to Plesk on my VPS?
This answer explains how you can login to the Plesk Control system on your VPS server:

1) Open your web browser, and in the address bar type the URL where your Plesk control panel is located.

For example, https://your-domain.com:8443, replace your-domain.com with your core VPS domain or IP address.

2) Type the user name 'admin' and your password into the Login and Password boxes, respectively. If this is your first login to the freshly installed control panel, use the default password 'setup'.

If you are logging in for the first time, select the language for your control panel from the Interface language drop-down box. If you had previously specified the interface language and saved it in your interface preferences, leave the User default value selected.

3) Click Login.

4) After your first login, you should accept the license agreement and then specify the host name and IP addresses to assign to the server.

5) Read carefully the terms of the License Agreement and, if you agree to all the terms, select the I agree to the terms of this license agreement and Do not show it again check boxes.

Click Accept to proceed to the postinstall configuration.

6) In the Full hostname field, enter your server's host name. This should be a fully qualified host name but without a trailing dot (e.g. host.domain.tld).

7) Specify the IP address that will be used as the default address of your server. You have the following two options:

  • Select one of your existing IP address from the drop-down box. This list is populated automatically and contains all IP addresses available on the server.

OR

  • Click the Add IP Address option button, select the network interface and enter the new IP address and subnet mask in the IP address box.
8) In the Shared IP section, specify the type for existing addresses: shared or exclusive. Click the Shared and Exclusive buttons to change the types of IP addresses.

You can skip this stage and define the type of IP addresses later (Server > IP Addresses).
