How to change DNS records at Plesk (generic)

Where the DNS settings live

1. Log in to Plesk (often yourdomain.com:8443).
2. Open Websites & Domains and select the domain.
3. Click DNS Settings.

Adding a record

1. Click Add Record.
2. Choose the record type, enter the host and value.
3. Click OK, then click Update / Apply at the top — Plesk queues changes until you apply them.

Editing or deleting a record

1. Click the record host name to open it, change the value, and click OK.
2. Tick the record and click Remove to delete.
3. Always click Update afterwards.

Changing the nameservers

1. Change nameservers at the registrar. Plesk only serves the zone if it is the authoritative nameserver.

Plesk (generic) nameservers

These are the values you would set at your registrar to let Plesk (generic) run your DNS. Always confirm them in your own account — several providers assign per-account values.

• Set by your host

After you save

DNS changes are not instant. Resolvers keep the old answer until the previous record's TTL expires, so a record with a 4-hour TTL can take 4 hours to change everywhere — occasionally longer if an ISP ignores TTLs. Check what the world currently sees before assuming something is broken, and see the troubleshooting page if it still looks wrong after the TTL has passed.
