Managing Web Hosting – Setting the Default Homepage

To change the default index page in Plesk for Linux:

1. Go to Websites & Domains > Apache & Nginx Settings.

   

2. Select the Enter custom value option in the Index files
   section. Specify the file name or names to be used as the default
   page. You can specify more than one, separating the file names from
   each other with white spaces. For example, if you specify “index.htm
   index.php”, the web server will serve index.htm as the default
   page. If the file with such name is not found, index.php will be
   served.

   

To change the default index page in Plesk for Windows:

1. Go to Websites & Domains > IIS Settings.

   

2. Select the Enter custom value option in the Default documents
   section. Add or remove file names from the list. The web server will
   be looking for the default page file starting from the topmost entry
   in the list and continuing downwards. For example, if you specify
   “index.htm” with “index.php” right underneath it, the web server will
   serve index.htm as the default page. If the file with such name is
   not found, index.php will be served.
