The hosting company set up our server with Plesk and I think there is a conflict in how they did this. We need to host 1 domain. They set the server name as "thedomain.com"
In all the years I have done server admin this is a big no-no. You never name the server the same as the actual domain. To get a site in with email, stats, etc we had to add the domain, so in domains we get
thedomain.com
Here is where it gets strange. No matter what we do the domain points to the default. There is an entry in IIS for the domain itself and the default domain. I can disable the default and it just says it can't find the domain. I assume Plesk is overriding IIS as this should never be working this way.
How can I fix this so that the domain is properly linked for stats, mail, etc. I know I need to move my files, but I have to get it pointing to the correct directory first.
