Setting Up a Plesk Server

The following steps guide you through the process of setting up a server in WHMCS for Plesk Hosting Accounts.

1. Begin by going to Configuration > Manage Servers

2. Click Add New Server

3. Enter the server name, IP address, select the server type "plesk" if you have admin access or "pleskreseller" if you are only a plesk reseller, and enter the username and password as appropriate

4. Click Create Server to complete the process and add your new server

Setting Up a Plesk Package

To setup a package for your Plesk server, go to Configuration > Products/Services, proceed to the new product setup and enter the details such as name, pricing, etc... On the server settings tab you should do the following:

1. Set the Server Type to Plesk or Pleskreseller depending on what you used previously

2. Enter the Client Template and Domain Template names - these are setup directly in Plesk and allow you the ultimate flexibility over client and domain permissions.

The most common error when initially testing a Plesk setup is the client account being created but no domain being created. This is usually due to the permissions of the domain template exceeding the server resources or containing something such as ColdFusion support when the server doesn't support it. You should always test your domain template works directly in Plesk after setting it up if it is a new setup.
