Getting Started Guide  

Figure 4: Control Panel. 

The CP screen is roughly divided into two panes: the menu to the left and the dashboard to the 

right. In general, the set of icons (or links) at the Control Panel dashboard duplicates the main 

menu functionality. However, the main menu shall be considered as the main navigation tool 

since it always shows the full set of control tools that correspond to the tab selected, without 

respect to what is going on at the dashboard. And Control Panel dashboard serves as operating 

tool.   

The CP interface is task oriented: you do not need to have all the links and icons displayed all 

the time. Please, click the tabs at the top of the screen to switch to the needed set of tools (zone). 

The CP interface corresponds to the services included in the subscription on a customer account. 

If there are no subscriptions, then CP allows managing account, buying more services, and 

reading user documentation.  

Thus, for the fresh installation and without any subscription on your account, you will see the 

following CP tabs: 

My Account. Everything connected with managing your HSPcomplete account and  

subscriptions: here a customer can check his (or her) account balance, manage financial 

documents (view invoices, pay orders, etc.), and edit the personal user settings (like 

password, account contacts, etc.). 

Upgrade Center. Here a customer can upgrade the current Hosting Plan, or buy a new one; 

Help. Useful information for a customer about FTP, SSH, or e mail settings and access to 

user documentation. In addition, here a customer can port problem reports if the Trouble 

Ticker System in enabled by Provider from PCC. 

Other tabs appear if a subscription is registered for an account: 

Site. Create and configure websites, manage mail (for VPS subscriptions). 

System. For VPS and Plesk domains. Manage users and groups, configure services, manage 

databases, manage domains, and add/remove applications. 

If you want to log in to the My Control Panel: 

Go to the System tab, click the Users icon and create a user. Do not forget to set password (you will use 

this password to log in to MyCP). Another way to add a user (if the Workgroup Administrator Control 

Panel is installed) is go to the Site tab and create a mailbox. 

1  Log in to the My Control Panel as this described earlier in this guide (see "Connecting to 

HSPcomplete Browser Based Tools" on page 6). 

2  When the Sign In form appears: 

a) Into 

the 

E mail field Key in the e mail of a user created before, in the Control Panel. The 

e mail should be the following user login@system hostname where user 

login should be replaced with the user name and system hostname is the 

hostname of the Virtuozzo VPS or Plesk domain. 

b) Into the Password field type the user password. 

c) Click 

the 

Sign In button.
