When you sign up for an account with us, you are giving an account which a limit controlling the number of domains you can handle in an account (almost always more than one). The way this is done is through the type of account you are given. A standard Plesk installation has four difference access types:

  • Admin Level This is the top level and is used by our Support Team to manage and maintain the servers.
  • Client Level The top-most level for customers. From here you can manage the domains your account is responsible for.
  • Domain Level This level is where most of the configuration is done for any domain. To access a this level account from a Client Level, simply click on the relevant domain from the list presented or enter the login details for the Domain Administrator account.
  • E-Mail Level If allowed, an e-mail account on any domain can have it's own access to Plesk, allowing the owner of that account to manage their account (setup SPAM configuration, Auto-responders, Redirects, etc.).

By default, all new accounts with JAB Web Solutions are setup for the Client Level. When you use the login details specified during your sign up, allowing you control of the number of domains in your account. Each level also has full control over all the settings associated with the level(s) below.

For example, with our basic P55 package, you can host up to three domains. This means you can, if you wish (three is a maximum, not a minimum), setup different domains, each independent of the other, such as:

  • example.com;
  • example.net; and
  • example.org

Each have their own files, own logins, own e-mails, own databases, etc. All you have to do is share the limits given to you among the domains that you have setup in your account (by default each domain's limit is set to the client's limit divided by the number of domains you can host on your account).

Remember, that you do not have to have the maximum number of domains on your account. You can if you wish (and customers do) run just the one website from their account.
