You will see a certificate warning. This is normal. Plesk comes with its own certificate, rather than a purchased certificate, so the connection is secure but you will still see the browser warning. You should continue to the site.<\/p>\n

If you want to avoid the issue, here is what you can do.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set the hostname for the server in plesk > Tools and Utilities > Settings, then click Server Settings. Set the hostname to a vaild hostname a FQDN. ex, host.domain.com.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to Tools and Utilities > SSL certificates.Generate a new CSR for the hostname (host.domain.com).<\/li>\n
  3. Take the CSR and purchase an new SSL for the hostname.<\/li>\n
  4. Install the new SSL.<\/li>\n
  5. Make sure the DNS points the hostname to the server primary IP.<\/li>\n
  6. Now navigate to the hostname vs IP for the plesk panel https:\/\/host.domain.com:8443<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
