• 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.

  • 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.

I've been reading Windows DNS material online and in books so much that my head is going to explode! I thought I knew how DNS worked until I finally ordered a box at Server Matrix. Now I'm stumped.

Instead of using my own DNS servers, I'd like to use the Server Matrix DNS servers (ns1/2.servermatrix.com) for now. But I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to setup my local site (in Plesk) so that it uses the SM DNS servers!

Here's what I have and what I've done:

1. Domain name registered at netsol
2. Pointing that domain name to the SM DNS servers
3. Created a 'client' and new domain in Plesk on my server

This is where I get stuck.... what do I do from this point? Please forgive me for being a newby at this, I normally hate having to ask for help. But I really need help this time, I'm just not getting something! [obviously] And I can't seem to find a nice step-by-step guide or sample case study anywhere.
 
You guessed it. This forum is just as worthless as the company that owns it.

I've already contacted Sw-Soft about major issues, and not a reply in 7 days. I WILL NOT do business with such a poor excuse for a company!
 
Thank you, but I've already figured it out. I had everything configured right, I just had to tell server matrix to point their name servers to my IP addy.
