DNS, general understanding

JohanSki

Basic Pleskian
Hi guys,

I'm thinking of purchasing/renting a VPS with PLESK. From the hosting company I understand that there are 2 ways to "connect" a domain to Plesk.

1. Purchase a domain name from within Plesk.

2. Purchase a domain name outside Plesk and configure DNS so it points to my VPS.

The first option seems to have a big problem. Each domain name will be "linked" to my VPS. If I ever have to switch to another hosting company and have to terminate my VPS subscription, then I will loose all of my domain names as well. This is not an option, so I will have to buy the domain names outside Plesk and use DNS to point them to Plesk.

My question is, does this mean I don't have to (or can't) use Plesk at all to configure DNS settings? Do I have to switch off Plesk's DNS service?
