Managing DNS records in Plesk

DNS records in Plesk

When your domain uses our nameservers, you can manage all DNS records directly from Plesk.

Opening the DNS editor

1. Log in to Plesk
2. Go to Websites & Domains
3. Click on your domain → DNS Settings

Common DNS record types

• A — Maps a hostname to an IPv4 address
• AAAA — Maps a hostname to an IPv6 address
• CNAME — Creates an alias from one hostname to another
• MX — Specifies mail servers for your domain
• TXT — Free-form text, used for SPF, DKIM, DMARC verification
• NS — Nameserver records

Adding a new record

1. In DNS Settings, click Add Record
2. Choose the record type
3. Enter the hostname (leave blank or use @ for the root domain)
4. Enter the value (IP address, target hostname, etc.)
5. Set TTL (300 seconds recommended for frequent changes)
6. Click OK
