  • 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.

Question DNS zones for subdomain vs. domain

dirk_s

New Pleskian
There are two ways to setup a subdomain with Plesk:
1) as a subdomain (SUB) of a TLD
2) as a separate "domain" (SUB.TLD) in addition to the related TLD

Both have advantages and disadvantages... (e.g. possibility to make use of alias is only available to a domain plus others)
How can I setup DNS correctly in Case 2)? I run my vServer as primary DNS and my registrar as secondary DNS. In case of 1) the secondary DNS Servers are reported as authoritative. In case of 2) I need to setup an additional zone file for the SUB.TLD at my registrar - as the DNS zones are separated on my vServer - one for TLD and one for SUB.TLD. Otherwise the secondary DNS servers are not reported as authoritative.

Goal: I would like to have one DNS zone file for the TLD, including(!) the related SUB.TLD DOMAIN DNS records. Is there anyway to achieve that with Plesk? That SUB.TLD doesn't create its own zone file, but updates TLD zone file instead?

Thanks for your help.
