Description

Adding a new domain in Plesk is equivalent to creating a domain account. A domain account holds the information about the domain administrator and various domain settings (hosting settings, limits on use of Plesk resources, performance settings, etc.).

Domain accounts can be created by Plesk users who are allowed to manage domains (Plesk Administrator, Plesk resellers, or Plesk clients). All these users can create domains for themselves, and, besides, Plesk Administrator can create domains for any Plesk client or reseller. Plesk resellers can create domains for their Plesk clients and transfer domain accounts from one of their Plesk clients to another, if the corresponding reseller permission is set.

Managing domain accounts includes creating, deleting, settings various domain/ Domain Administrator settings.

Settings

Domain accounts are used to store a collection of domain settings. These settings specify various resources at the domain's disposal, and the capabilities of Domain Administrator as well. These settings are as follows:

• General account information
• Domain Administrator settings
• Domain Administrator permissions
• Hosting settings
• Limits on use of Plesk resources
• Disk usage settings
• Domain statistics settings
• Domain preferences
• Performance settings

For details, refer to the Domain Settings section.
