# How do I sign in to my Plesk panel?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-do-i-sign-in-to-my-plesk-panel

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "Plesk is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Open the link in the **Panel address** row. Your browser warns about a self-signed certificate; this is your own server, so you can continue. Enter the details from the **Login** and **Password** rows.

## License

On first sign-in, Plesk asks you to accept its agreement and choose a license. You can enter your own key or start Plesk's trial license. The license fee is not part of your order and is paid directly to Plesk or its reseller.

## Your first site

1. Point your domain's A record to your server's IP address.
2. On the **Websites & Domains** page, add your domain with **Add Domain**.
3. Get a certificate with Let's Encrypt.

## Good to know

The panel runs on port **8443**. You manage the firewall with Plesk's **Firewall** extension.

**No server yet?** [Order a server with Plesk installed](https://www.seturack.com/en/plesk-vps): you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
