# Set Up Webspace – Domain Won't Connect? Step by Step

Set up NexoraHost webspace: assign domain, DNS A record, enable SSL – including troubleshooting when domain won't connect.

**Quick answer:** Setting up webspace in Plesk takes minutes. If your **domain won't connect**, it's usually nameservers or DNS – not the webspace itself.

This guide shows you step by step how to set up your webspace at NexoraHost – from the first login to a finished website. With Plesk and the integrated AI, it's faster than ever.

## Step 1: Log in to the customer panel

After your order, you'll receive an email with your access credentials. Log in to the [customer panel](https://nexorahost.com/account). There you'll find an overview of your purchased products.

## Step 2: Open Plesk

Click on your webspace product in the customer panel. You'll find a direct link to **Plesk** – your management interface. Alternatively, you can access Plesk at `https://your-domain.com:8443`.

## Step 3: Create a website with AI

Plesk offers an integrated AI that creates a complete website for you in just a few minutes:

    - Click on **Create Website** or **AI Website Builder** in Plesk
- Briefly describe what kind of website you want – e.g. "A blog about sustainable farming with a green design" or "A portfolio page for my photography with a gallery and contact form"
- The AI automatically generates:
        
            - A suitable design and color scheme
- Template texts for your industry
- A page structure with home page, about, contact
- Matching images (optional)

    
- Customize texts and images to your liking
- Click **Publish** – your website is online

## Step 4: Alternative – Install WordPress with 1-click

If you prefer to use WordPress, it's just as easy with a few clicks:

    - Click on **WordPress** in the left menu of Plesk
- Click **Install**
- Fill in the fields:
        
            - **Domain:** Select your domain
- **Website title:** Name of your website
- **Admin username:** Your login name
- **Admin password:** Secure password
- **Admin email:** Your email address

    
- Click **Install**
- After 2-3 minutes WordPress is fully installed

## Step 5: Upload files via FTP

If you want to upload your website manually:

    - Find your FTP credentials in Plesk under **FTP Access**
- Download a free FTP client like **FileZilla**
- Connect to the server and upload your files to the `httpdocs` directory

## Step 6: Set up email accounts

    - Click on **Mail** in Plesk
- Click **Create Email Address**
- Set a name (e.g. `info`) and a password
- The mailbox is immediately available at `info@yourdomain.com`
- Access your emails via webmail at `https://webmail.yourdomain.com` or set them up in your email program

## Step 7: Activate SSL certificate

Plesk activates a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate by default. Check if it's active:

    - Click on **SSL/TLS Certificates** in Plesk
- Select your domain
- Click **Install Free Certificate**
- Your website is now accessible via `https://`
