Registrar’s DNS Settings in Plesk

 
configuring dns for a domaindomains and dnsreseller guidewebsite managementwebsites and domains

If you have external primary and secondary name servers that are
authoritative for some of your websites, switch off the Plesk’s DNS
service for each of these sites.

To switch off the Plesk’s DNS service for a site served by external
name servers:

  1. Go to Websites & Domains and click the domain name whose DNS
    settings you want to manage.

  2. Click DNS Settings.

  3. Click Disable.

    Turning the DNS service off for the zone will refresh the screen, so
    that only a list of name servers remains. Note that the listed name
    server records have no effect on the system. They are only presented
    on the screen as clickable links to give you a chance to validate the
    configuration of the zone maintained on the external authoritative
    name servers.

  4. If you want to validate the configuration of a zone maintained on
    authoritative name servers, do the following:

    1. Add to the list the entries pointing to the appropriate name
      servers that are authoritative for the zone: Click Add Record,
      specify a name server, click OK, and then click Update.
    2. Repeat the step a for each name server you would like to test. The
      records will appear in the list.
    3. Click the records that you have just created.

Plesk will retrieve the zone file from remote name servers and will
check the resource records to make sure that domain’s resources are
properly resolved. The results will be interpreted and displayed on the
screen.

Additional Operations on Domains

If your Customer Panel is integrated with a billing system, then the
following operations on domains might be available from Plesk:

  • Setting a password for access to domain management panel at a
    registrar’s site.
  • Locking and unlocking domain name for transferring to another
    provider.
  • Changing domain registrant and other contact information.
  • Changing DNS settings for domain zones served by a domain registrar.
  • Configure automatic renewal of the domain account at the domain name
    registration company.

To set a new password for access to your domain management Customer
Panel at a registrar’s site:

  1. Go to Account.
  2. Locate the domain name for which you want to change settings, and
    click the link Show Domain Info next to it.
  3. Click Change Domain Password.
  4. Type a new password and click OK.
