  • 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.

How to preview website in a local environment?

Ara Kara

New Pleskian
Hi guys,

I am new to this forum and am currently looking for some answers regarding plesk.
I have plesk 12.5 running with ubuntu server 14. The thing is however, the server is intended only for development purposes and so its not built in a live environment. I just need it to run on my local network.

Usually in a windows environment I would browse to something like http://localhost/websitename in the browser with xamp installed. But how does this work in a local network with plesk?
Is there a specific way to setup dns? Or hostname?
I have googled the subject but most answers I come across give solution to a live environment with actual domain names attached..

If someone can give me some hints it would make my day

Thanks a lot!
