Resolved How to rename a subscription ?
- Thread starter Frank1000
- Start date
Each subscription in the Plesk is referred to by the domain name of the first website created under that subscription. The first website is used as the main domain on the subscription. Its virtual host directory is used for the document root of additional domains on the webspace.
It is not possible to set up an additional website as the main website on the subscription. The main website on the subscription cannot be deleted or replaced with another domain.
Plesk 12.x and above
It is not possible to set up an additional website as the main website on the subscription. The main website on the subscription cannot be deleted or replaced with another domain.
Plesk 12.x and above
- Go to Home > Subscriptions > example.com > Websites & Domains > example.com
- Click on Hosting Settings tab and specify a new name for the domain.
Okey, the solution is pretty simple.
1.Log in to Plesk
2. Rename the domain uptoconcept.com to example.com in your subscription (as a placeholder)
3. Rename the domain onefh.com to uptoconcept.com
4. If you want also to migrate the data from the placeholder to the "new" uptoconcept.com create a new domain and copy the data from onefh.com to it. Than overwrite the data from the placeholder to the "new" uptoconcept.com
or if you want to move onefh.com to a sepperate subscription and change main domain from onefh.com to uptoconcept.com:
This functionality is not yet implemented in Plesk, but you can use the following workaround:
Note: in case of Web Admin license is used, select required webspace(subscription) in upper right corner and click on Hosting Settings for required domain.
Note: the permission "Domain creation" should be enabled on the subscription. The customer cannot rename this domain without this permission.

- Log in to Plesk
- Create a new subscription example2.com
- Copy your original website onefh.com in example2.com subscription via domains > example.com > Copy Web page
- Test the site on the new location by adding example2. Comin to the local computer Hosts file
- Rename onefh.com in uptoconcept.com and example2.com in onefh.com
This functionality is not yet implemented in Plesk, but you can use the following workaround:
- Go To Home> Abonnements> example.com> Websites & Domains> example.com
- Click Settings Hosting tab and specify a new name for the domain.

This doesn't actually answer the question. The question is how to rename a subscription. The reason I'm here is because I have exactly that question.
There is nothing wrong with answering a question with "sorry, can't be done".
The answer provided, namely, that t is possible to rename the primary domain for a given subscription, is sufficient for some use cases, but not mine., We really want to keep the subscription name equal to the domain name of its primary domain. That's why I want to know how to rename a subscription (when the primary domain changes).
As far as I can see, the workaround for that is to create a new subscription with the desired name and move the domains to it.
This is not easy: there doesn't seem to be an option to copy a subscription, so its settings need to be copied manually, and in some cases (passwords), they can't be copied at all (without admin rights on the backend; we are a reseller and lack those rights). Creating a new subscription with possibly different values for properties is fine if the old subscription wasn't in use yet, but you can't just change properties when the subscription was in use.
A possible workaround for that is to have the admins enable API access and write a script to do the copying through the API, but that isn't easy either, and opening up API access is a security risk.
So at the end of the day I'm still looking for a good answer to the original question.

Well ... I checked again, and my reply above is just silly.
Changing the subscription's domain name in its hosting settings is the actual answer to the question. While additional domains can be defined for a subscription, one domain is associated with it from the start, and its name is the subscription's name. So changing that domain name in its Hosting Settings changes the subscription's name.
