Plesk 9 Linux DV FAQs
What DNS servers do I use? If my domain is already registered with Domain.com, how do I register my name servers for my DV?
The DV is configured to function as nameservers. You'll need to register the nameservers with the IP of the DV. Here's how to do that on Domain.com's system, with a domain registered through us. Otherwise, you'll need to find and follow your domain registrar's directions:
- Open up your account information at Domain.com and click the My Domains tab.
- Click the domain name you want to add the nameservers for. (not the checkbox)
- In the Name Servers section, choose the 'Register NameServer' link.
- Enter in "NS1" in the nameserver box and your DV IP address in the four boxes below that. It will be something like 72.251.13.41, then click update.
- Do the same again for "NS2".
