    How to configure Plesk if DNS zones are hosted on an external NS server?

    Answer

    Create all DNS zones on the external NS servers and apply one of the following solutions in Plesk:

    External DNS server for all domains

    2. Uninstall Plesk DNS service: go to Tools & Settings > Updates > Add/Remove Components and deselect the corresponding component ( 'BIND DNS server support' on Linux and 'Microsoft DNS server' on Windows).
      Linux:

      Windows:
