• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Question DNS: A and CNAME records don't work outside host

Birgir Hrafn

New Pleskian
Hello

I am hosting several domains and subdomains and I want to point a subdomain to a domain that is not mine.
I'm provided with a Plesk Parallels. I have DNS settings that seem to work ONLY for domains that I am hosting within that provider.

Only the sd4.example.com and sd2.example.com don't work.
They are A and CNAME records that point to an external web-app.

Notice that sd3.example.com is a CNAME that does work, but it points to another domain that is using the same host/ip.

Note: Whatever subdomain I type, it does serve me with the "Web Server's Default Page".

Does anyone have any idea why A/CNAME records don't work outside the host?

Here is a screenshot of the settings:

Hi Birgir Hrafn,

I suggest checking correct setting on registrar side that it points exactly to your server. Also, check that ip1-server correctly configured for serving requests for somedomain.com
