  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Lightsail Plesk Instance - Preview Site prior to DNS propogation

C

ClaytonDaniels

New Pleskian
Testing out the Plesk instance as a potential web host for some small sites and I haven't found a way to preview a site prior to moving the domain to the Lightsail instance IP address.

Typically with hosts, I can create a site and view that site at ip.add.res.xx/~siteroot.

Is this functionality available within the Lightsail Plesk instance?
 
Hello ClaytonDaniels,

Did you see "Website Preview (link)"?
Plesk enables you and your customers to preview the websites for which DNS propagation has not yet been completed by presenting them as subdomains of a different domain. To change site preview settings, go to Tools & Settings > Website Preview.

Can it solve your case?
 
Hi,

This does not seem to solve my case. If I click on preview..I get no response. I have searched and tried everything including Disabling Quick Preview and then enabling it again to recreate the preview files but no luck. Any other suggestions? Not sure what I am doing wrong. Preview just times out.
