How To Add More Domains In Plesk<\/strong><\/p>\n

To host a new website with a second-level domain name:<\/p>\n

\n
1. Go to\u00a0Websites & Domains, click\u00a0Add Domainand follow on-screen instructions.<\/strong>Note:<\/strong>\u00a0Depending on the Plesk edition, the information that you can specify on the\u00a0Add Domain\u00a0screen might differ.Note: If you select the recommended option, you should connect the DNS settings related and your domain name with the domain name at the registrar’s side. To achieve this, enter the Plesk name server IP address into the respective NS record of the registrar.
   \nThe instruction on how to obtain the IP is as follows: go to\u00a0Websites & Domains\u00a0> domain name >\u00a0DNS Settings<\/strong>, find the NS record, and then find the A record corresponding to the\u00a0NS record value.<\/strong>
   \nFor example<\/strong>, if your NS record is
   \nexample.com. NS ns.example.com<\/em>,<\/strong>
   \nfind the A record with\u00a0ns.example.com, for example,<\/em>
   \nns.example.com. A 192.0.2.12<\/em><\/strong>
   \nThe resulting value,\u00a0192.0.2.12<\/em><\/strong>, is the Plesk name\u00a0server’s IP<\/strong>\u00a0that you need.<\/li>\n
2. Click\u00a0OK.<\/strong>The new domain name is now shown in the list at the bottom of the screen.<\/li>\n
3. If the operation of changing hosting settings is\u00a0available for your account,<\/strong>\u00a0then you can click the domain name of the new website to view or change the hosting setting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   You can now start creating your website with Presence Builder or upload your web content to the subscription of the new website>.<\/p>\n

   Registering Domains<\/strong><\/p>\n

   As your service provider, we offer domain name registration service as well as web hosting.
   \nThus you can initiate domain registration directly from Plesk.
   \nTo register a domain name, add it as described above and then click the link\u00a0register it now<\/strong>\u00a0beside the new domain name in the\u00a0Websites & Domains\u00a0section<\/strong>.
   \nThis will redirect you to the customer portal area<\/strong>\u00a0where you can complete the registration.<\/p>\n

   After you register a domain name, it will appear in the\u00a0Registered domain names\u00a0list in the\u00a0Websites & Domains\u00a0section<\/strong>.
   \nTo get information about a domain name registration, for example, the registration price and next renewal date, click the domain name in this list.<\/p>\n

   How To Remove Domains In Plesk<\/strong><\/p>\n

   When you delete a domain from Plesk, all data related to the corresponding site are deleted from the server.<\/p>\n

   Note: The main domain of your subscription – that is,\u00a0the first domain name (default domain)<\/strong>\u00a0that was created for your account, cannot be deleted; however, it can be renamed.<\/p>\n

   To remove a domain:<\/strong><\/p>\n

   \n
   1. Go to\u00a0Websites & Domains<\/strong>\u00a0and locate the name of the domain or subdomain you want to remove.<\/li>\n
   2. Click\u00a0Remove\u00a0Website\u00a0or\u00a0Remove Subdomain<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
   3. Confirm removal and click\u00a0OK.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Please note that removing domain names from the Customer Panel does not cancel the registration of these names.
      \nIf you registered these domain names, you can still use them for your websites in the future.<\/p>\n

      How To Add Subdomains In Plesk<\/h2>\n

      If your hosting package includes subdomains, which are additional third-level domain names, then you can use them to:<\/p>\n

      \n
      • Organize logically the structure of your site.<\/li>\n
      • Host additional websites or parts of a website on the same server without the need to pay for registration of additional domain names.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        An example of using subdomains:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        You have a website your-product.com dedicated to promoting and selling your product.
        \nFor publishing information related to customer service and online order tracking, you can organize the subdomain\u00a0“orders”<\/strong>\u00a0so that your users will be able to access this information directly by visiting the Internet address\u00a0“orders.your-product.com”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        As subdomains have the same status with the additional domains, you can use the same set of tools and services for working with subdomains. For example,\u00a0SSL\/TLS protection<\/strong>, Presence Builder, web statistics, and so on.<\/p>\n

        To set up a subdomain for a site division or a separate site:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
        1. Go to\u00a0Websites & Domains.<\/strong><\/li>\n
        2. Click\u00a0Add Subdomain.<\/strong>
           \n<\/li>\n
        3. Specify the following:Click\u00a0OK.<\/strong>\n
           \n
           1. In the\u00a0Subdomain name\u00a0box,<\/strong>\u00a0type the portion of address that will be added to the domain name of your main site.<\/li>\n
           2. In the\u00a0Document root\u00a0box,<\/strong>\u00a0type the desired location of the directory where all files and subdirectories of this site will be kept. You can use the default directory of the main site, called httpdocs, or specify another directory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
           3. The new subdomain name is now shown in the list at the bottom of the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              You can now upload your web content to the subdomain\u00a0(directory on the server)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

              Using Wildcard Subdomains In Plesk<\/strong><\/p>\n

              If you enter the asterisk\u00a0(*)<\/strong>\u00a0symbol as a subdomain name, Plesk will create a so-called\u00a0wildcard subdomain<\/em>. When site visitors enter\u00a0any<\/em>\u00a0subdomain name that is not registered in Plesk, they will be redirected to this wildcard subdomain. You can create wildcard subdomains on any domain name level. For example, you can create the\u00a0*.mystore.myawesomedomain.com<\/em>\u00a0subdomain.<\/p>\n

              How To Add Domain Aliases<\/h2>\n

              Domain aliases allow<\/strong>\u00a0you to point several domain names to the same website. This can be useful, for example, for branding purposes.<\/p>\n

              To set up a domain alias in Plesk:<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
              1. Go to\u00a0Websites & Domains<\/strong>\u00a0and run the\u00a0Add\u00a0Domain Aliaswizard.<\/strong><\/li>\n
              2. Specify the domain for which you are creating an alias\u00a0(the\u00a0primary domain<\/em>)<\/strong>\u00a0and the alias&rsquo;s domain name, for example\u00a0alias.tld<\/code>, and set up the following:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                 \n
                 • Synchronization of DNS zone with the primary domain<\/strong>If this option is enabled, the DNS zone of the domain alias will be in sync with the zone of the primary domain. Any changes made in the DNS zone of the primary domain will be automatically applied to the DNS zone of the alias. For example, if you create the CNAME record like\u00a0blog.primary_domain.tld<\/code>, the corresponding\u00a0blog.alias.tld<\/code>\u00a0record will be added to the zone of the alias.Note:<\/strong>\u00a0If a domain alias&rsquo;s DNS zone is synced with the primary domain, you cannot modify resource records in the alias’s DNS zone.<\/li>\n
                 • Mail service<\/strong>Plesk does not allow creating mailboxes under domain aliases. Instead, the mailboxes of the primary domain are used. If you select the\u00a0Mail service\u00a0option<\/strong>, the mailboxes created under the primary domain will also be available under the alias. To enable users to read mail sent to mailboxes under the alias, Plesk redirects it to the corresponding mailboxes under the primary domain.For example:<\/strong>\n

                   You have an email address\u00a0mail@domain.tld<\/code>. Then you set up an alias for\u00a0domain.tld<\/code>, for example,\u00a0alias.tld<\/code>. If you select the\u00a0Mail service\u00a0option, all mail sent to\u00a0mail@alias.tld<\/code>\u00a0will be available at\u00a0mail@domain.tld<\/code>. Otherwise, the mailbox\u00a0mail@domain.tld<\/code>\u00a0will not receive mail sent to\u00a0mail@alias.tld<\/code>.<\/li>\n

                 • Web service<\/strong>If this option is turned on, the website will open in the browser at the alias&rsquo;s URL.
\nIf you clear the\u00a0Web service\u00a0check box, the alias will be used for mail only provided that\u00a0Mail service\u00a0is selected.<\/li>\n
                 • Redirect with the HTTP 301 code<\/strong>By default, Plesk uses web server internal redirection for aliases. In this case, the alias appears to be a separate website for visitors and for web search engines. This causes a problem because search engines index the content of the alias separately, so your primary domain loses search engine rankings.To avoid this, you can use redirection with the HTTP 301 code (Moved permanently) by selecting\u00a0Redirect with the HTTP 301 code. In this case, only the primary domain will rank in search engines. Learn more at\u00a0http:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/bin\/answer.py?hl=en&answer=93633<\/a><\/li>\n
                 • Java web applications<\/strong>If there are Java applications installed on your site that you want to make accessible through the domain alias, select the\u00a0Java web applications\u00a0option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                   How To Add Wildcard Subdomains In Plesk<\/h2>\n

                   You can use wildcard subdomains to redirect visitors from\u00a0non-existent subdomains<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0to one of your websites, commonly, to your main website.<\/p>\n

                   The typical use cases of this feature are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                   \n
                   • Improve website organization and run marketing campaigns.For example, you do not have the\u00a0sales-offer<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0subdomain but wish to forward users from\u00a0limited-sales-offer.example.com<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0example.com<\/em>.<\/strong><\/li>\n
                   • Help users reach your website even if they mistyped a subdomain name.It is a widespread mistake to mistype a website name if it has the leading www prefix (for example, typing\u00a0ww.example.com)<\/em>.<\/li>\n
                   • Finally, some website\u00a0applications (WordPress)<\/strong>\u00a0use wildcard subdomains to create dynamic subdomains for convenience and better user experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                     : Please note that traffic to existent subdomains will not be affected in any way if you add a wildcard subdomain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                     HOW TO ADD WILDCARD SUBDOMAINS<\/strong><\/p>\n

                     You can add one wildcard subdomain per each of domain names under a subscription.
                     \nFor this, go to\u00a0Websites & Domains\u00a0and add a subdomain which name is\u00a0“*<\/em>“<\/strong>\u00a0to one of your domain names.
                     \nExample:\u00a0*.example.com<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0If you wish this subdomain to have a custom set of scripts or website content, specify a custom document root for this subdomain.<\/p>\n

                     LIMITATIONS OF WILDCARD SUBDOMAINS<\/strong><\/p>\n

                     Wildcard subdomains act like typical subdomains with the following exceptions:<\/p>\n

                     \n
                     • Linux-only feature<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0Currently, wildcard subdomains are supported only on Plesk for Linux.<\/li>\n
                     • Renaming is not available<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0It is not possible to rename such subdomains.<\/li>\n
                     • No DNS zone<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0This type of subdomains does not have own zone record in the Plesk’s DNS server.
                       \nInstead, they have the A record that points to the IP address associated with a corresponding domain name.<\/li>\n
                     • Installation of APS apps is not allowed<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0Plesk customers are unable to install APS apps to wildcard subdomains.<\/li>\n
                     • No Presence Builder sites.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Plesk users are unable to edit and publish sites to these subdomains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
