DNS Zones control the way your domains and subdomains work. Plesk gives you full control over your DNS zones, assuming your hosting plan grants access to this feature.
Go to "Websites & Domains" then "DNS Settings". Here you will see a list of all the domains on this subscription.
Click the "Manage" link next to a domain to manage it.
You'll find a number of tools here. You can "Switch Off the DNS Service", which will make the Plesk server stop responding to any DNS requests for this domain. "Switch DNS Service Mode" makes the Plesk DNS server act as a Slave for this DNS zone and use an external DNS server instead. You can also "Add a Record", modify the zone's "SOA (Start of Authority) Record", or restore this zone to the server's defaults.
To add a DNS record:
Click "Add Record".
Choose the "Record type" from the dropdown menu. For specific information on each Record type, view this area's Help page.
Enter the domain name and the IP address for this record.
Click "OK" to submit the page.
The DNS record has been created, but not yet saved to the live DNS zone used by the server. Click "Update" to apply the changes to the DNS zone or click "Revert" to abandon the changes.
On this page you will find a list of all the records in this domain's DNS zone.
To edit or remove a DNS record:
Click on an entry's link to edit it.
To delete one or more DNS records, click the checkbox next to each and then click "Remove".
Confirm the removal, then click "OK".
Again, you will need to click "Update" or "Revert" in order to apply or abandon the changes.
This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to manage DNS zones in Plesk.
