• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

My website was hacked today and soemone wiped out my postnuke stories, gallery pictures, everything. I tried to do a psa restore but it did not bring back the database info and pictures that I had in albums folder under httpdocs. Is this normal ?

Any ways I can secure my server from this happening again ?
 
Also when i read the restore progress it says

Database XXXX restoration skipped ?

Why does it not restore previous database ?
 
It sounds like the a database with the same name existed on the server prior to you restoring it. Delete the domain on the server again, ensure the database does not exist, then restore again.
 
Do I delete the domain from under vhosts directory ?

That will remove databse also ?
 
If you have a psadump stored safely you can delete via Plesk which should remove the vhost directory for the domain. You'll then need to drop the database via MySQL.
