  • 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.

Could someone please tell me how to start the DNS sever. Ive tried it from server>service management but it just wont start. I started it from the remote desktop but it pleask its disabled. Hence, none of my domains are working.
 
Solution

1. Login to your server through Remote Desktop.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Navigate to c:\program files\swsoft\plesk\dns\etc\named.user.conf or c:\swsoft\plesk\dns\etc\named.user.conf (depending on your server) and open this file with notepad.
4. Remove any data that is in this file. There should be something like this:

options {allow-recursion {localnets;};};

5. Save the file once you have removed EVERYTHING from this file.
6. Close Windows Explorer.
7. Pull up the Plesk manager.
8. Check the box for Plesk Name server and click the Start button on the right side of the window.

This should resolve your issue. After you have performed these actions, please attempt to pull up your domains dns information through dnssstuff.com. Please let us know if we can assist you in any other way.
