How to Manage DNS Settings in Plesk

Managing DNS directly from your Plesk panel allows you to easily control how your domain resolves—whether for your website, email, or other services.

Step 1: Log in to Plesk

Go to https://yourdomain.com:8443 and log in with your admin credentials.

Step 2: Go to “Websites & Domains”

From the left menu, click on “Websites & Domains.”

Step 3: Select Your Domain and Open DNS

  • Click on the domain name where you want to change DNS settings.

  • Click on the “Hosting & DNS” tab.

  • Then click “DNS.”

Here you will see a list of DNS records:

  • A Record

  • CNAME Record

  • MX Record

  • TXT Record

  • AAAA Record

  • NS Record

Step 4: Add or Edit DNS Records

  • To add a new record, click “Add Record.”

  • To edit a record, click on it.

Step 5: Save Changes

After making your changes, click “Update” or “Apply Changes.”

Changes may take effect immediately, but full propagation can take up to 24 hours.
