Getting Started with Web Hosting

This guide walks you through ordering web hosting, accessing your Plesk control panel, and connecting your domain.

​
Ordering Web Hosting

Follow these steps to order web hosting through our dashboard.
1

Visit the Dashboard

Navigate to dash.breezehost.xyz and log in with your account credentials. Create an account if you don’t have one.
2

Browse Web Hosting Plans

Click “Services” or “Products” and select “Web Hosting” or “Shared Hosting”.
3

Choose Your Plan

Select a plan based on your needs. Browse the available options on the site.
4

Select Primary Domain

Choose your primary domain. Remember: you bring your own domain from any registrar. You’ll specify which domain to point to this hosting account.
5

Configure Plan Options

Select any available add-ons:
  • Backup service
  • SSL certificates
  • Database upgrades
6

Review and Checkout

Review your order summary, select your billing cycle, and complete payment.
7

Account Activation

Your hosting account will be provisioned automatically, usually within minutes. You’ll receive an email with your Plesk login credentials and server information.
Most plans activate immediately after payment. Check your email (including spam folder) for login credentials within 5-15 minutes.

​
What You’ll Receive

After ordering, your welcome email will contain:
  • Plesk Control Panel URL: Where to log in (usually https://your-ip-address:8443)
  • Plesk Username: Your control panel login name
  • Plesk Password: Your initial control panel password
  • Server IP Address: Your server’s public IP
  • Nameservers: If you need to use them
  • FTP/SFTP Details: File access information (if enabled)

​
First Login to Plesk

​
Accessing Plesk

  1. Open a web browser
  2. Navigate to the Plesk URL from your welcome email (usually https://YOUR-IP:8443)
  3. You may see a security warning (self-signed certificate) — click “Advanced” and proceed
  4. Enter your username and password
  5. Click “Log in”
You’re now in the Plesk dashboard!
Plesk uses HTTPS on port 8443. The self-signed certificate warning is normal and safe — click through it.

​
Change Your Password

Your first step should be to change your default password:
  1. Click your username in the top-right corner
  2. Select “Change Password” or “Account”
  3. Enter your current password
  4. Create a new strong password (15+ characters)
  5. Confirm and save

​
Pointing Your Domain to Breeze

You need to tell your domain registrar where your website lives. There are two methods: If your hosting plan provides Breeze nameservers, update your domain registrar:
  1. Log into your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.)
  2. Find “Nameservers” or “DNS Settings”
  3. Replace existing nameservers with Breeze’s nameservers:
    • Usually ns1.breezehost.xyz
    • Usually ns2.breezehost.xyz
    • (Exact nameservers provided in your welcome email)
  4. Save changes
Propagation Time: 24-48 hours (often faster)

​
Method 2: Using DNS A Records

If Breeze doesn’t provide nameserver service or you prefer managing DNS elsewhere:
  1. Log into your domain registrar
  2. Find “DNS” or “DNS Records” settings
  3. Create an A record:
    • Name/Host: @ (or leave blank)
    • Type: A
    • Value: Your server’s IP address (from welcome email)
    • TTL: 3600 (default)
  4. For www subdomain, create another A record:
    • Name/Host: www
    • Type: A
    • Value: Same IP address
  5. Save

​
Verify Domain Pointing

After pointing your domain, verify it’s working: In Plesk:
  1. Navigate to Websites & Domains
  2. Click on your domain
  3. Check the status indicator
From your computer: On Mac/Linux: 
nslookup your-domain.com
On Windows: 
nslookup your-domain.com
You should see your server’s IP address in the results.
DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to propagate fully, but usually resolve within a few hours. If it’s taking longer, double-check your nameserver or DNS record settings.

​
Adding More Domains

Hosting typically includes multiple domains. To add additional domains:
1

Open Websites & Domains

In Plesk, navigate to Websites & Domains
2

Add a New Domain

Click “Add Domain” or “Add Website”
3

Enter Domain Name

Type your domain name (e.g., example.com)
4

Configure Domain

  • Choose if it’s a main domain or addon domain
  • Specify the document root (folder where files go)
  • Enable/disable SSL
5

Point Your Domain

Update DNS at your registrar to point to this hosting account
6

Verify

Once DNS propagates, your domain is live

​
Installing SSL (Let’s Encrypt)

Protect your website with free SSL:
  1. Navigate to Websites & Domains
  2. Click your domain
  3. Look for “SSL/TLS Certificates”
  4. Click “Get Let’s Encrypt Certificate”
  5. Plesk will automatically install and renew it
Your site will be accessible as https://your-domain.com and show a green lock in browsers.
Let’s Encrypt certificates are free and automatically renew. Plesk handles the entire process automatically.

​
Next Steps

Now that your hosting is set up, you’re ready to:

Deploy Your Website

Deep dive into Plesk features like databases and cron jobs

Configure Domains

Add SSL certificates, manage domains, and create subdomains

​
Troubleshooting

​
Domain Not Pointing Yet

Problem: I can see my hosting IP is correct but domain doesn’t resolve Solution:
  1. Check that nameservers or A records are correct at your registrar
  2. Wait up to 48 hours for DNS propagation
  3. Clear your browser cache
  4. Try accessing via http://YOUR-IP to verify hosting is working
  5. Contact support if still not working after 48 hours

​
Can’t Log Into Plesk

Problem: I forgot my password or can’t access Plesk Solution:
  1. Check your welcome email for the correct Plesk URL and credentials
  2. Ensure you’re using HTTPS (https://server-ip:8443)
  3. Wait a moment if you just received the account (server may still be initializing)
  4. Click “Forgot Password” on the Plesk login page
  5. Contact support if issues persist

​
SSL Certificate Issues

Problem: My domain shows security warnings Solution:
  1. Ensure your domain is pointing correctly to the server
  2. Wait 24 hours after domain pointing for SSL to auto-provision
  3. Manually request Let’s Encrypt certificate in Plesk
  4. Check Plesk logs for SSL errors
  5. Contact support for certificate installation issues
Most issues resolve themselves once your domain properly points to the server. Be patient with DNS propagation!
