Managing Groups of Plesk Servers

A group is needed for combining Plesk servers in order to assign a common rule or a set of features to all servers belonging to this group. In Plesk Expand, grouping allows you to assign common IP allocation policy or a reseller to a particular group of servers, and to automatically select the less loaded server from the group to create a new Plesk client on. By default, all newly created Plesk servers are added to the Default group.

The list of all Plesk groups currently registered in Plesk Expand is presented on the Groups management page. You can access this page by clicking Groups on the Plesk Servers management page.

The Groups management page displays a list of groups of Plesk servers. This list provides the following information:

The following operations can be performed on groups of Plesk servers:

• To add a new group to Plesk Expand, click New Group.
• To proceed to the administration page of a desired group, click its name in the list.
• To proceed to the administration page of a Plesk server belonging to the group, click this server's name in the Plesk Servers column.
• To search for a particular group, enter its ID, Name or the name of any Plesk server belonging to the group in the corresponding fields and click Search.
• To remove a group from the system, select a checkbox next to it and click Remove Selected. A confirmation page appears prior to removal.

  Note: 1. A group cannot be removed from Plesk Expand until all Plesk servers belonging to the group are moved to another groups. You can move Plesk servers to another group on the administration page of the group to which these servers belong.

  2. The Default group cannot be removed from Plesk Expand. The checkbox next to it is disabled.
