  • 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.

When sites deactivite, dns caches them offline

If I have a site that auto-deactivates, say, it expires and somebody visits the site the website stays down even after I reactivate the site. This happens for everybody that uses the same ISP. It appears that the DNS server (in this case Comcast) caches the site is down and does not retry until their cached records expire.

Why did Parallels change the previous behavior of turning off the DNS server for the domain instead of serving a "default page"?

It means that whenever a client gets automatically shut off, and they call me, I have to tell them the site won't be up for a few hours. This is really bad.
