Request Samples

Creating domain accounts under different Plesk users

Domain accounts can be created by Plesk Administrator, Plesk resellers or Plesk clients.

Here is a sample request packet that can be used by a Plesk client to create a domain account with Web hosting. The account is created with a minimal collection of Web hosting settings.

<packet version="1.6.0.1">

<domain>

    <add>

      <gen_setup>

        <name>sample.com</name>

        <ip_address>192.0.2.48</ip_address>

      </gen_setup>

      <hosting>

        <vrt_hst>

          <property>

            <name>ftp_login</name>

            <value>ftp16se4fdf0</value>

          </property>

          <property>

            <name>ftp_password</name>

            <value>qweqwe</value>

          </property>

          <ip_address>192.0.2.48</ip_address>

        </vrt_hst>

      </hosting>

    </add>

  </domain>

</packet>

The packet doing the same but in the protocol version earlier than 1.5.0.0:

<packet version="1.4.2.0">

<domain>

<add>

   <gen_setup>

      <name>sample.com</name>

      <htype>vrt_hst</htype>

      <ip_address>192.0.2.48</ip_address>

   </gen_setup>

   <hosting>

      <vrt_hst>

          <ftp_login>ftp16se4fdf0</ftp_login>

          <ftp_password>qweqwe</ftp_password>

          <ip_address>192.0.2.48</ip_address>

       </vrt_hst>

    </hosting>

</add>

</domain>

</packet>

The following packet sent by Plesk Administrator specifies the Plesk user who owns this domain:

<packet version="1.6.0.0">

<domain>

<add>

   <gen_setup>

      <name>newdomain.com</name>

      <owner-id>1234</owner-id>

      <htype>vrt_hst</htype>

      <ip_address>192.0.2.123</ip_address>

      <status>0</status>

   </gen_setup>

   <hosting>

      <vrt_hst>

          <ftp_login>c4u7dwbc2y8</ftp_login>

          <ftp_password>qweqwe</ftp_password>

          <ip_address>192.0.2.54</ip_address>

       </vrt_hst>

    </hosting>

</add>

</domain>

</packet>

Creating multiple domain accounts

To create two domain accounts with a single packet, include two different add nodes:

<packet version="1.4.2.0">

<domain>

<add>

   <gen_setup>

      <name>example.com</name>

      <htype>vrt_hst</htype>

      <ip_address>192.0.2.123</ip_address>

      <status>0</status>

   </gen_setup>

   <hosting>

      <vrt_hst>

          <ftp_login>c4u7dwbc2y8</ftp_login>

          <ftp_password>qweqwe</ftp_password>

          <ip_address>192.0.2.54</ip_address>

       </vrt_hst>

    </hosting>

</add>

<add>

   <gen_setup>

      <name>sample.com</name>

      <ip_address>192.0.2.124</ip_address>

      <status>0</status>

   </gen_setup>

   <hosting>

      <vrt_hst>

          <ftp_login>c4u7dwbc2y8</ftp_login>

          <ftp_password>qweqwe</ftp_password>

          <ip_address>192.0.2.54</ip_address>

       </vrt_hst>

    </hosting>

</add>

</domain>

</packet>

Using a particular domain template

The following sample packet creates a domain account based on the domain template.

<packet version="1.4.2.0">

<domain>

<add>

   <gen_setup>

      <name>example.com</name>

      <htype>vrt_hst</htype>

      <ip_address>192.0.2.123</ip_address>

      <status>0</status>

   </gen_setup>

   <hosting>

      <vrt_hst>

          <ftp_login>c4u7dwbc2y8</ftp_login>

          <ftp_password>qweqwe</ftp_password>

          <ip_address>192.0.2.54</ip_address>

       </vrt_hst>

    </hosting>

   <template-name>base_template</template-name>

</add>

</domain>

</packet>
