What is Plesk?
Plesk is a powerful, yet user-friendly hosting/domain manager. Plesk has a simple-to-use interface that makes editing your hosting details extremely easy.
What can Plesk do?
Through Plesk (included with all HelioHost hosting accounts), you can:
Create and manage e-mail addresses for your domain
Check e-mail using RoundCube -or- alter MX records for use with another e-mail service (such as Google Workspace - doing this will cause the Plesk built-in webmail clients to stop working)
Set-up e-mail clients for use with your e-mail addresses (through POP3/SMTP)
Update your HelioHost account information/password
Create and manage FTP accounts
Use the built-in Plesk file manager
Set-up FTP access using external FTP clients
View error logs for your site
Password protect directories on your site
Manage zone records (A, CNAME, TXT) for your domain(s)
Create MySQL/PostgreSQL databases/users (see MySQL Databases)

How do I access my Plesk?
