  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

FTP Access before DNS changes

Is there a way to access a site hosted on Plesk before DNS changes have propogated?

ie. I have a site foo.com and would like to upload all the content to it, but foo.com is still pointing to the old server.

Is there an address such as pleskserverip/foo?
 
You can use the Plesk site preview, or you can modify your local PC's HOSTS file to point the domain to a specific IP address.

You can find the site preview button under Domains. Typically the URL will look like:
Code:
https://www.yourdomain.com:8443/sitepreview/http/somedomain.com

Thanks. I didn't think of changing the hosts file.
