  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

DNS Service not running?

I'm new to Plesk. I've purchased a Virtual Dedicated Server from GoDaddy and cannot get my site back online.
I believe I have the DNS zone records set up properly, but here's my Plesk question:

Under Server > Services Management

The DNS Server is 'X'ed out, and I cannot start it. It has a red X and when I try to start it I get a message:

"The operation with Plesk Name Server service completed successfully"

But it still shows a red X and my site is still not available using the domain name.

Thanks for any help.
 
One other bit of information:
Under
Server > Plesk Components Management
BIND DNS Server 9.2.4 has a red X on it.
 
I had the same issue and this is what i found that worked for me.

1.Login to server with remote desktop
2.Open windows explorer
3.open in note pad c:\swsoft\plesk\dns\etc\named.user.conf
4.Remove any data in it.(I was not sure what this file did so i made a backup of it before deleting everything in it.)

5. log into plesk and click start for dns
 
Here's a followup.
It turns out the Micorsoft DNS server was not installed.
Once I installed it, it worked.
Thanks
