• 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.

plesk 8.0, hosting your own sites

Hello,

In Plesk admin guide, there is the following note:

Note: for the purpose of hosting your own sites, you should use a special service account which
is created during Plesk setup. The account is registered with the control panel under the name
My Domains.

I have no service account "My Domains". Where is it and how can I use it? There is no other reference to this "My Domains" acount in the entire plesk documentation.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
 
On the first login as admin, along with accepting the license and entering admin information, was a question asking if a default client account should be created using the same info as the admin account. Answering yes creates the mydomains user.

If you didn't do that, then just go ahead and create a client account for yourself. It doesn't have to be named mydomains. There's nothing special about the name.
