It looks like autoinstall-ctp.plesk.com is resolvable, so your DNS setup is probably not right. What nameservers are listed in /etc/resolv.conf and can your server use those to resolve hostnames to IP addresses?

nameserver is pr1inc.new host name is pr1inc. IP is 200.105.87.26 and .27

i have no ideal how to setup DNS from the line. the server co-loacated

nameserver is pr1inc.new

That's not a hostname that I can resolve.

host name is pr1inc.

I recommend using a fully qualified domain name like pr1inc.example.com.

You need to specify the nameservers that your server can use to resolve hostnames in /etc/resolv.conf. Maybe your co-location facility provides access to nameservers. Say 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 are the IP addresses of the nameservers you can use then your /etc/resolv.conf should look like this:

nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 192.168.0.2

After you have Plesk installed and BIND running on your server you could change /etc/resolv.conf to use 127.0.0.1 (localhost), your own local nameserver.
