• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    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. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

New Pleskian
Select ReIssue Certificate of domain using an external DNS service.
Select "Install a free"
"Lets Encrypt" - Get it Free
Started issuing .. with an acme_challenge TXT string
Go onto external DNS provider and update the text string.
After a several minutes click on "Continue" in Lets Encrypt.
Except early on Sunday mornings, regularly get a 404 error because the DNS provider systems haven't "replicated" fast enough. Then have to go through the whole process again - right pain.
Building on the comments from "K" using a cron job and acme.sh (my DNS provider not in list) re this topic, need some form of built in mechanism to allow these requests to be put into a queue and allow retries for some reasonable period of time (say every minute for an 1 or 2 hours).
