Welcome to Your New Server!
This guide will walk you through installing the Plesk control panel on your new Arh24.com VPS or Dedicated Server. Plesk provides a simple, graphical way to manage your websites, emails, and server settings without needing to use complex commands.
Before You Start: The Essentials
For a smooth installation, please make sure you have the following ready:
- A Clean Server: Plesk must be installed on a fresh operating system. If you've installed anything else, it's best to re-install your OS from your client area first.
- SSH Access: You will need to connect to your server using SSH. Your server IP, username (
root), and password are in the welcome email from Arh24.com. - Plesk License Key: You need a license to activate Plesk. You can get one from the official Plesk Website or from us.
The 5-Step Installation Process
This process is easy to follow. Just copy and paste the commands exactly as shown.
-
Step 1: Connect to Your Server
Open your SSH client (Terminal on Mac/Linux or PuTTY on Windows) and connect to your server. Replace
YOUR_SERVER_IP_ADDRESSwith your actual server IP.ssh root@YOUR_SERVER_IP_ADDRESSYou will be asked for your root password to log in.

Step 2: Download the Plesk Installer
This command downloads the official installation tool from Plesk directly to your server. It's fast and secure.
wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer -
Step 3: Prepare the Installer
Next, we need to make the downloaded file runnable. This command gives it the necessary permissions.
chmod +x ./plesk-installer -
Step 4: Start the Web Installer
This is the final command. It starts the installation process and gives you a special link to finish the setup in your web browser.
./plesk-installer --web-interfaceAfter running it, look for a URL in the output that starts with https://. Copy this entire link.
-
Step 5: Finish in Your Web Browser
Paste the link from the previous step into your web browser. A Plesk setup page will appear. Simply log in with your server's
rootusername and password, follow the on-screen instructions, and provide your Plesk license key when asked.
Installation Complete! You can now access your powerful Plesk panel at any time by visiting:
