Creating and Registering Domain Hosts for Domains on Your Virtual Dedicated Server
Once you set up a domain and create a zone file in Plesk, you need to create and register two domain hosts for your domain. If your domain is registered with us, you can log in to your account manager to complete this step. If your domain name is registered with another company, you will need to contact them for instructions regarding domain host registration.
To Register Your Domain Hosts
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, select Domains.
- Click on the domain you want to host on your dedicated server.
- In the lower-left of the page, click add next to Host Summary.
- Enter a name for each of your domain hosts. For example, ns1.yourdomainnamehere.com and ns2.yourdomainnamehere.com. This prefix can be anything you want it to be, but it should be something easy for you to remember (like ns1 and ns2).
- Enter the IP address for your server. You can find the IP address for your server in your server manager or in Plesk.
- Click OK.
NOTE: If you cannot make changes to your Domain Host Summary, your domain may be locked. To unlock your domain, select the domain you want to unlock and, under the Domain Details section on the right, click Unlock Domain.
NOTE: These two domain hosts can be used for other domains hosted on your virtual dedicated server. You do not need to create new domain hosts for each of your domains.
