If the server rebooting all the time is normal, you should probably look for a different server.

But maybe they meant login from 127.0.0.1 is normal, in which case it seems they are correct: http://kb.odin.com/en/119663

Question

I see several active admin sessions on localhost with address 127.0.0.1. Does it mean that somebody else is logged on Plesk server?

Answer

This is expected behavior. You can watch the active localhost admin sessions during daily maintenance script usually. The process runs as Plesk administrator ('psaadm' system user) and perform maintenance tasks.

You need to step back and take a deep breath... no humor intended.

No one is logging in from 127.0.0.1 - that address is not visible - at all - from the outside.

Many machine processes will use 127.0.0.1 for various purposes - but not for login.

But when people have asked for more info, just saying that it reboots due to a login to 127.0.0.1 is totally unhelpful and uninformative. On the other hand, you undoubtedly think that is the major cause of the problem.

So, could you explain a little more precisely, with some actual messages or log lines that lead you to that conclusion. Perhaps that will allow us to understand why you have reached that conclusion and lead to a resolution.

Restricting Administrative Access

Good bye and good luck.

Frustrated you may be but still some of your language in this thread is not acceptable.
So I'm warning you (in a friendly way) you should mind both your tongue and attitude.
Thanks in advance.

I don't personally use Plesk but usually, especially when in concern of hackers, one of the best places to look is in the logs.

Consider taking a swift peak through the following files; you may find something there:

/usr/local/psa/admin/logs/httpsd_access_log
/var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log

/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/logs/error_log
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/logs/access_log

/var/log/httpd/access_log
/var/log/httpd/error_log
