Instructions

To add a new resource record to the zone:

1. Log into your Plesk Control Panel, see Figure 1:

   
   Figure 1: Control Panel

2. Go to the "Websites & Domains" tab and click on the "DNS Settings" icon, see Figure 2 for the location of this icon:

   
   Figure 2.

3. If you have several domain names, select the domain name whose DNS settings you want to manage.
4. Click "Add Record" -- see Figure 3 as reference:

   
   Figure 3.

5. Select a resource record type, and specify the appropriate data. For an NS record, which specifies the domain name of a nameserver that is responsible for a DNS zone of a domain, you need to specify the domain name (or a subdomain), and then the corresponding nameserver's domain name. If you are defining an NS record for your main domain, then you should leave the domain name field empty. If you are defining a nameserver for a subdomain, then type the subdomain into the domain name field. After that, type the appropriate name server's domain name into the name server field. For example: ns1.example.com.
6. Click "OK," and then click "Update."

Instructions

You must first have the domain you wish to make your DNS already set up in Plesk. You will also need at least 2 IP's to use for your server.

1. Log into your Plesk control panel as Administrator and select the domain from the Domains list you wish to make DNS.
2. Select the DNS icon from your services list.
3. Select the link example.com from the Host list, with Record Type NS and Value ns.example.com
4. In the Enter nameserver field, change the ns.example.com to ns1.example.com and select OK.
5. From the Tools area, select Add Record. For Record type, select NS and enter ns2.example.com in the Enter nameserver field and select OK.
6. Select from your host list ns.example.com with Record type A and change the value to ns1 and select OK.
7. From the Tools area, select Add Record again. For Record type leave as A, in the Enter domain name add ns2, in the Enter IP address enter your second IP address that you are going to use and select OK.
8. You should now have 2 Record types with the NS value of ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com and under the Host list you will also have ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com with the Record type of A and they will have 2 separate IP's.

In order to have these added as DNS values for when you add new domains, you will need to change the default DNS record in Plesk.

1. Select Server from the list on your left.
2. Select the DNS icon from the Services list.
3. From the Host list, select with record type NS and enter ns1.example.com in the Enter nameserver field and select OK.
4. From the Tools area, select Add New Record. Change the Record type to NS and in the Enter nameserver field input ns2.example.com and select OK.

If you want to use 2 separate domains for your DNS, this is even easier because Plesk has already created this for you. You must have 2 domains entered in Plesk and assigned separate IP's. You would then only need to create a DNS zone template the same way described earlier, only inputting ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com for your default values.
