I have recently purchased a Windows VPS with Plesk control panel and have uploaded website files. While visiting my website it is asking for username and password authentication. Now, I haven’t set any authentication on server for any website, what shall I need do?

This is quite common with the sites hosted on windows server with plesk as a control panel. You are not allowed to acces the site whtout authentication – entering username and password. This is not a bug or issue but is related to password synchronization with IIS server. To resolve this, you will need to synchronize the password.

Below given are some simple steps that you will need to follow:

1. RDP to your windows server as an administrator.
2. Start>Run>cmd [this will take you to sytem command prompt]
3. cd to plesk\admin\bin [shortcut is cd %plesk_bin%]
4. Type websrvmng.exe –update-anon-password –domain-name=yourdomain.com

The above command will synchronize the password and you will require no more password authentication to view the content.

If this doesn’t work for you, then please open a support ticket and we’ll investigate further and fix the issue for you happily.

Virtualization is the hottest trend in the industry today, and the Parallels Virtuozzo platform allows for a highly scalable and full featured Virtual Private Server environment. Unlike hypervisor based systems, Virtuozzo allows all of the Virtual Machines on a physical server to share one underlying operating system. This makes much more efficient use of the physical infrastructure and allows for a greater density of Virtual Machines to run simultaneously.

Virtuozzo creates multiple isolated virtual containers (VCs) on a single physical server. Each VC performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server to its users and applications. It can be rebooted independently and has its own root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files.
