Creating Domain Account

A domain account can be created by Plesk Administrator, Plesk reseller or Plesk client. To register a new domain account in Plesk database, it is enough to specify some general setup information, namely: the domain name, and the IP address. If the domain is created by Plesk Administrator or Plesk reseller, the domain owner needs to be specified too.

In addition, you can specify various domain settings when creating a domain account (all of them are optional):

• Hosting settings
• Hosting performance settings
• Limits on use of Plesk resources
• Domain preferences
• Domain administrator settings
• Domain template

A domain account can have all these settings specified, or it can hold just some of them. You can specify domain settings when creating a domain account or later (they can be set using the set operation). The only exception from this rule is a domain template: it cannot be applied to the domain after it is created. To learn more about the domain templates management via API RPC, proceed to section Managing Domain Templates.
