Linking Your Domain to Plesk
To link your domain to Plesk, follow these steps for a seamless setup:
1. Obtaining the Plesk IP Address
Navigate to My Services and select your web hosting plan. On the left menu under Actions, click on Log in to Plesk. The IP address can be found below the login box; use Ctrl + F and search for "IP Address".
Alternatively, go to Hosting & DNS → DNS to view the IPs and the records you need to create.
2. Creating DNS Records to Link to Plesk
Important: Ensure that if your domain is registered on our site, the nameservers are set to ns1.eranet-dns.com and ns2.eranet-dns.com. If not, update them accordingly.
Note: Nameservers like shieldnode.net will not work.
Navigate to My Domains → Select your domain → Manage → DNS Management. Set up the following records:
- Hostname: @ | Record type: A | IP: [Plesk IP]
- Hostname: www | Record type: A | IP: [Plesk IP]
If SMTP records are needed, create them using the same format. You can find the necessary details under Hosting & DNS → DNS in the Plesk panel.
3. Activating SSL
Return to Plesk as described above and navigate to Dashboard → Security → SSL/TLS Certificates. Secure your site by creating a certificate with Let's Encrypt and continue with the process.
Conclusion
By following these steps, your domain should be successfully linked to Plesk with secure connections enabled.
