How to Change the Default Domain in Plesk Shared IP
When you set up multiple domain names on your Plesk-based web server -- using the same Internet Protocol (IP) address -- the first domain is set to be the default. Therefore, if you try to access that IP address, you will be accessing the first domain name registered to it. In Plesk, you cannot re-order the list to make another name the default. You can however, log in via the secure shell (SSH) and amend the default order.
