    Im sorry if this sort of question has been posted before but I cant find a good overview of my problem.
    I am currently paying for a shared hosting service for upto 10 domains and have had no end of problems regarding email spoofing for one of my domains. When i contacted my tech support they were not helpful and kept trying to sell me a vps to solve my problem.
    Instead of going with them i found another VPS provider at a fraction of the cost running CentOS 6.

    My problem is that i cant find out how to prep the VPS ready to migrate my current domains.
    Through my Plesk Power Panel i have been able to deduce that the Apache and MySql services are running but i cant find a 'var/www' directory in the filemanager to put a site or create multiple folders for each domain.

    There is an option in 'Management > Control Panels' to add another Plesk Control (not POWER) Panel Application to manage customers and resellers and Im assuming web hosting but it says i havent got a license after it logs me in.
    Is this a licensing problem or am i missing something very simple,

    Thanks
    Rich

    If you receive a license message on accessing the Plesk control panel, which means the Plesk license is not installed OR not installed properly. In such a case, you have to ask your hosting provider. The Plesk control panel is accessed at: https://yourserverip:8443
    You have to add your websites in the Domains section of the Plesk control panel and specify it's Ftp details. Using the Ftp details, you can upload the files of the website under the httpdocs folder of the respective domain.
