  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question How can I disable the www-prefix for one domain?

Hey there,

I just bought a Sectigo EV Multidomain certificate to protect some of my domains I need for a project.
Since those certificates are not cheap at all I didn't want to pay for the www prefix.
To fix this I came up with the following.

1. Remove the www-prefix from the domain
2. Create the www-prefix as a subdomain
3. Issue a lets-encrypt certificate for this subdomain
4. Implement a 301 redirect to the main domain.


While this doesn't sound very difficult I can not find a way to remove/disable the www-prefix for the main domain and so I can not create a real subdomain to do my trick.
Is there any way I can disable the www prefix on the domain so that I can use the lets-encrypt certificate just on the www subdomain.
Found an older forum post but this one seems way to old to be usable. (Howto disable the www alias option for a domain.)
Keep in mind I want it disabled for only one domain not all of the domains on the host.



Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter,

That is sad to hear and it seems weird to me that in previous versions it was possible to do according to the link I provided earlier. This is really old information (2009) but still it seems weird to me that an already implemented function got entirely removed.

Thanks for the info and I voted on that feature request you linked. I will look for a different solution for this domain and thus remove it from Plesk for now.
