[Peter Kuhlmann]

Hi there,
I need a detailed tutorial how I can setup the quick preview on external domain.
1.) Activate quick preview

2.) Goto the DNS Template

3.) And then insert the domain into A record, but what must be insert there. Please more details

And yes I have read this article, but is not clear!

Hi Peter Kuhlmann,

could you pls. explain, what is unclear with the additional information/documentation:

*.<Plesk_IP>.<domain_name>.

Hierbei ist <domain_name> der Name der Domain und <Plesk_IP> die IP-Adresse des Plesk Servers. Die Punkte (.) in IPv4-Adressen und die Doppelpunkte ) in IPv6-Adressen werden durch Bindestriche (-) ersetzt. Wenn also Ihre Plesk IP-Adresse beispielsweise 192.168.10.20 lautet und der Name der Domain, die Sie verwenden wollen, beispiel.com ist, sieht der "A"-Eintrag wie folgt aus:

where <domain_name> is the name of the domain, and <Plesk_IP> is the IP address of the Plesk server with dots(.) for IPv4 or colons ) for IPv6 are replaced with dashes (-). For example, if your Plesk IP address is 192.168.10.20, and the name of the domain you want to use is example.com, the "A" record will look like this:

*.192-168-10-20.beispiel.com.

2.) Goto the DNS Template

Pls. don't forget, to modify the DOMAIN - specific DNS - settings and not the serverwide DNS - template.

=> HOME > Subscriptions > YOUR-DOMAIN.COM > DNS Settings​

Ah, ok! Therefore I have to add/change the DNS for each domain where I want to have the preview.
Are the following settings are right? But where I have add the external domain name? My external domain is "grafiknet.de".

Hi Peter Kuhlmann,

But where I have add the external domain name? My external domain is "grafiknet.de".

You certainly have to ADD the external domain over your Plesk Control Panel, in order to manage the depending DNS - settings.

I think you might have some kind of misunderstanding of this feature here, as it is certainly impossible to have a preview for external domains, if you don't host the content on your server. If your domain is "joomlaplates.org" on server A with the IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XX1 and you would like a preview for this domain over the external domain "grafiknet.de" ( server B with IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XX2 ), then this is certainly not possible to configure.

This feature is meant to be used for (sub)domains, which are not yet connected to any nameserver, so that you are still able to preview the configured content over a hosted IP on your server.

Ok, now it´s clear it was my misunderstood!
