Long time cPanel/WHM user here, just made the switch to plesk and i'm having a world of problems with just about everything.

First lets start with setting up nameservers. I only need one set such as ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com. So I login to GoDaddy, setup my host summary.

Assign 1 ip to ns1.domain.com and the 2nd ip to ns2.domain.com.

Next i've logged in to plesk control panel, setup a "client" and created the domain.com domain for it. After this its all downhill and french. I've read about 15 different threads here and each one outlines a different process, i've read articles off site and they are all different.

So for starting purposes, i've deleted all clients, DNS settings i made and have restored everything to default in hopes of getting a starting tutorial.

Is there any easy way for noobies like myself to get the hang of this? with WHM it was input IP -> Save -> done. I really don't want to switch back to cPanel as plesk came free with my new server...
 
go to Domains > yourdomain.com > DNS, remove there default RRs:

yourdomain.com NS ns.yourdomain.com
ns.yourdomain.com A IP.addr

and add yours ones:

yourdomain.com NS ns1.yourdomain.com
yourdomain.com NS ns2.yourdomain.com
ns1.yourdomain.com A IP.addr.1
ns2.yourdomain.com A IP.addr.2

if you want all the newly created domains in Plesk use the same name servers, then on Server > DNS page modify DNS template, remove default RRs:

<domain> NS ns.<domain>
ns.<domain> A <IP>

and add yours ones:

<domain> NS ns1.yourdomain.com
<domain> NS ns2.yourdomain.com
