How to log in and out of Plesk

This article describes how to log in and log out of Plesk so you can manage your A2 Hosting web site.

Plesk is no longer included with new A2 Hosting plans, but it is still available on legacy Managed WordPress accounts. You can install Plesk manually on unmanaged VPS and Dedicated servers.

Logging in to Plesk

To log in to Plesk, use either of the following methods.

Method #1: Access Plesk through the A2 Hosting Customer Portal

To access Plesk through the Customer Portal, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Customer Portal.

  3. Under My Products & Services, locate your hosting package, and then click Manage.
  4. Under Hosting Information, click Login to Plesk Control Panel.
Method #2: Access Plesk directly

To access Plesk log in directly, follow these steps:

  1. In your web browser, type the Plesk address for your web site. The address is https://www.example.com:8443, where example.com represents your domain name.
    Alternatively, you can use the address https://server.com:8443, where server.com represents your server name.

Logging out of Plesk

You should log out whenever you have finished using Plesk, because this notifies the web server that you have finished your session. If you do not log out, the server automatically closes your session after a set period of time. However, there is a small possibility that an attacker could exploit the open connection before this automatic logout occurs.

To log out of Plesk, follow these steps:

  1. In the top navigation bar, click your username:

    Plesk - Username

  2. Click Log out:

    Plesk - Username - Log out
