Your Plesk works in cooperation with a DNS server which enables you to run the DNS service on the same machine where you host websites. This server is BIND on Linux and Microsoft DNS on Windows.

Plesk 如何创建 DNS 区域

Setup of DNS zones for newly added domains is automated: When you add a domain name to the Customer Panel, a zone file is automatically generated for it and registered in the name server’s database, and the name server is instructed to act as the primary DNS server for the zone. Subscribers can manage DNS zones of their domains through the Customer Panel if their subscriptions provide the corresponding permissions. Additionally, subscribers can choose whether they want to use Plesk DNS server as the primary or a secondary DNS server, or switch off the DNS service for their domains. To learn how to manage DNS zones of domains within a subscription, refer to the section (Advanced) Configuring DNS for a Domain.

Plesk creates DNS zones for domains in accordance with the server-wide DNS template. The template defines the structure of DNS zones for all domains in Plesk. To learn how to edit the DNS template and apply its changes to existing zones, refer to the section Server-Wide DNS Template.

为托管式域名关闭 DNS 服务

Plesk 允许您为在服务器上托管的所有或某些域名关闭 DNS 服务。若要了解如何操作，请参阅 关闭 DNS 服务 。

外部的 DNS 服务器

若您不想在 Plesk 服务器上运行 DNS 服务，则可以把外部的 DNS 用于支持服务器上托管的域名。可在此部分 使用外部的 DNS 服务器中了解更多。

使用没有 DNS 服务器的 Plesk

您可以在安装 Plesk 时排除安装 DNS 服务器。具体方法是使用自定义安装（请参阅 部署指南 了解详情）并取消选定相应组件（Linux 上是 BIND DNS 服务器支持 以及 Windows 上是 Microsoft DNS 服务器 ）。

如果您如此操作，Plesk 则不会为托管的网站提供 DNS 服务，直到您安装了 DNS 服务器或连接了外部的 DNS 服务。若要了解未在 Plesk 中配置 DNS 服务会出现什么情况，请查看小节 Plesk 没有 DNS 服务器 。

接下来，我们将详细阐述如何为在服务器上托管的域名配置 DNS 服务的各个方面。.
