  • 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.

Issue route53 as DNS service for a Plesk subdomain (Manually)

SamurailAlex

New Pleskian
Hi,

I'm trying to use route 53 as the DNS service for a new Plesk subdomain, but i'm not being able to configure it properly.
The idea is to mantain the domain in Plesk, as it is pointing to a running website, and use the subdomain for pointing to a s3 bucket (with static website hosting activated) named subdomain.domain.com.
I've created the subdomain in plesk and tried the following configs without succeeding:
  1. Created a "domain.com" Route 53 hosted zone
After doing it, i added the Route53 HZ nameservers to my domain DNS configuration in Plesk, without changing master/slave setup. In my Route53 HZ created an A record named "subdomain.domain.com" and pointed it to my s3bucket. Also i added a www.subdomain.domain.com CNAME record for redirecting to the mentioned A record. Didn't get any results
Later, i added the same route53 HZ nameservers to the subdomain DNS configuration in plesk, but neither this changed anything.
  1. Created a "subdomain.domain.com" Route 53 hosted zone"
Same configuration as previous step, but with different hosted zone.
Some Considerations
  • Deleted the default A record on Plesk for the subdomain (It was pointing to the hosting IP), both in domain and subdomain DNS configuration.
  • I lowered the TTL on Plesk to 5 min, and updates to 3 min.
  • Cannot create any A record pointing to the s3Bucket on plesk since i don´t have the IP of the bucket and cannot use an alias.
  • None Plesk record was added to any of my Route53 HZ
  • Bucket name same as subdomain
  • I'm not able to install AWS Route53 extension on Plesk.
Actually i'm trying to do the configuration only for the S3 bucket, next step will be adding a Cloudfront Distribution for my Subdomain.
Thanks in advance.
