You want to customize DNS settings.

Solution

Customize DNS settings With Plesk, a user can customize the settings for each domain DNS he created. As a Plesk Administrator, you can allow your customers to customize their own DNS settings ; They customers must however control the configuration of DNS zones to be able to modify the settings.

NOTE : A DNS misconfiguration causes a malfunction of the Internet, e-mail and FTP services

Types of DNS records

There are five types of DNS records :

  • A = Address - Is used to translate hostnames into IP addresses.
  • CNAME = Canonical name - Is used to create additional hostnames or aliases for hosts on a domain.
  • NS = Server name - Defines the association between a domain name specific and Servers names on which the domain information is stored. A domain name can be associated with several Servers names.
  • MX = Mail Exchange - Defines where email destined for the domain should arrive.
  • PTR = Point - Sets the IP address and the individual hosts on the domain name. Translates IP addresses to hostnames.

Change the DNS settings

Plesk will retrieve the DNS configuration default DNS configuration of Server. To modify the DNS configuration, follow these steps
  • On the administration page of the selected domain, click the icon IconeDNS.gif DNS configuration customize DNS DNS settings to open the page of the configuration of the DNS zone.

The DNS zone status icon indicates whether DNS is enabled.

  • To enable or disable the DNS for this domain, click on the icons IconeDNSActiver.gif Activate or IconeDNSDesactiver.gif Disable as appropriate.

If you disable the DNS zone, the page will be refreshed so that it will remain a list of Servers names.

If you use a Server Remote DNS and therefore you want to disable the DNS for the domain, you must first create the entries of Server name that are suitable for this domain and remove all the entries of Server name inappropriate, possibly created by the default DNS template. This is done, disable DNS. You will see while the (s) Server(s) the domain name remains (nt) in the list displayed as link (s).

You can perform a test on these Servers of nouns a selecting a. When you select a Server names, a NSLookup runs to check your domain DNS records on this Server specific names. NSLoookup is used to check recording domain A, the CNAME record for www and MX record to ensure that these basic registrations are resolved properly on the Server remote names. The test results are interpreted and presented through the user interface.

To add a DNS entry, select the type of record that you want to create, and then click Add. There are specific to each record type configuration. When you create DNS entries in a specific DNS zone, the zone name must exist for each entry. Plesk presents the fields with invariable values screen to avoid possible errors are inserted into the configuration of the zone.


  • For an A record you will need to enter the name of the domain for which you want to create an A record. If you set only an A record for your main domain, leave the field blank. If you are defining an A record for a Server names, you will need to input the appropriate entry for the Server names concerned (e.g. ns 1). You will then need to enter the appropriate IP address to which the domain name should be associated with. To complete and submit your data, click OK.
  • For a NS record, you will need to enter the name of the domain for which you want to create an NS record. If you set an NS record for your main domain, leave the field blank. Then enter the name of Server namespace suitable in the field provided for this purpose. You will need to enter the whole name (i.e. ns 1. mynameserver.com ). To complete and submit your data, click OK.
  • For a MX record, you must enter the name of the domain for which you are creating the MX record. For the main domain, simply do not fill in the field. Then you will need to enter the name of your Server Mail Exchange, i.e. the name of Server Messaging. If you use a Server external e-mail whose name is 'mail.myhostname.com' , you can simply enter 'mail.myhostname.com' in the field provided for this purpose. You will then need to set the priority for the Server Messaging. Choose priority from the drop-down list : 0 corresponds to the highest priority, 50 at the lowest priority. Remember that you also need to add the appropriate A record and /or the CNAME record, as the case may be, for the Server external e-mail. Click OK to submit your data.
  • For a CNAME record, you must first enter the alias for the name of the domain for which you want to create a CNAME record. You must then enter the name of the domain on which you want the alias to be hosted. You can enter any domain name. It doesn't have to be hosted on the same Server. Click OK to submit your data.
  • For a PTR record you will first need to enter the IP address /the mask that you want to set the pointer. Then enter it domain name in which you want this IP to be converted. Click OK to submit your data.
  • To remove a DNS record, select its checkbox and click on 'Delete selection'. Before the command is executed, a message appears asking you to confirm the deletion.
In the configuration page of the DNS zone for the selected domain, you can change the DNS zone of the type 'master ' Type 'slave '.

Change the DNS zone type

  • Click the icon IconeDNSRefresh.gif Switch. The DNS zone properties page will open and the DNS zone will be reported as type 'slave '.
  • Enter the IP address of Server Master DNS in the expected field for this purpose click on 'Add '. The new record of Server Master DNS will be immediately added to the list of Servers DNS masters.
  • To unregister a Server Master DNS, select it by checking the appropriate box and then click on 'Delete selection'.
  • To make the DNS zone to its previous type - Master -, click the icon again IconeDNSRefresh.gif Switch. You return to the page of the configuration of the selected domain's DNS zone.
  • To restore the DNS zone using the DNS template, select the IP address in the drop-down list, add the www prefix if it is required, and then click the button 'By default ' to run the action.
  • You can then verify the DNS, for example with a Zonecheck replication AFNIC
