  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Changing hostname

Garfieldus

New Pleskian
Are there any pitfalls, complications or anything else I should look out for in changing the hostname on my Plesk 11 managed server?
 
There should no problems to change your host-name at your web-server.
Normally can this be done by the Plesk Management module at your server settings and/or Virtuozzo. (I prefer Virtuozzo)

Also you have to create/change DNS records for your primary domain of that host-name.
- Create a A DNS record. Pointing from newhost.mydomain.com to IP adress.
- Create a C NAME record. Pointing from oldhost.mydomain.com to newhost.mydomain.com.

That's all.
