Domain and Subdomain Management in Plesk

Plesk provides powerful domain management capabilities that our team uses to configure and maintain your websites. This article explains how we manage domains, subdomains, and related features to ensure optimal hosting configuration.

Note: As part of our managed hosting service, our team handles all domain configurations. Simply submit your requirements through our support system, and we'll implement them for you.

Primary Domain Management

Primary domains serve as the main website address and include:

  • Document root configuration
  • SSL certificate management
  • PHP version settings
  • Web server configurations

We can configure subdomains with these options:

  • Custom Document Root: Separate folder for subdomain content
  • Inherited Settings: Use parent domain's configuration
  • SSL Protection: Separate or wildcard certificates
  • PHP Settings: Custom PHP configuration per subdomain
