How to add addon Domain in Plesk Control Panel?

If your Windows hosting package includes more than one domain name (website), then you can easily add domains to the server. Before you start adding a new domain that will use a second-level domain name, like example.com, be sure to register this domain name. You can register the new domain.

To host a new website with an addon domain name:

  1. Login To Plesk Control Panel.
  2. Go to the Websites & Domains.
  3. click Add Domain.

    Note: If you select the recommended option, you should connect the DNS settings related and your domain name with the domain name at the registrar's side. To achieve this, enter the Plesk name server IP address into the respective NS record of the registrar. The instruction on how to obtain the IP is as follows: go to Websites & Domains > domain name > DNS Settings, find the NS record, and then find the A record corresponding to the NS record value.
    For example, if your NS record isexample.com. NS ns.example.com,
    find the A record with ns.example.com, for example, 
    ns.example.com. A 192.0.2.12
    The resulting value, 192.0.2.12, is the Plesk name server's IP that you need.
