Overview
This guide will show you how to add or delete a domain or a domain alias for your DV server within Plesk.
Requirements
For your domain to properly resolve to your DV, you will need to ensure that your domain is pointed to (mt) nameservers or you can point an A record to an IP address on your DV.
If you are using Plesk as a reseller, make sure you create your subscription first so that you can add additional domains.
NOTE
Make sure you also add the domain in your AccountCenter. Please see this article for details.
