To remove a domain in Plesk, follow the steps below. Please note that removing a domain will also delete all associated services, including website files, databases, email accounts, and DNS records. Make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.
Step-by-Step Guide to Remove a Domain in Plesk:
Step 1: Log in to Plesk
- Open your Plesk control panel by navigating to
https://your-domain.com:8443(replaceyour-domain.comwith your actual domain or server IP address). - Enter your admin username and password to log in.
Step 2: Go to the "Websites & Domains" Section
- Once logged in, click on the "Websites & Domains" tab from the Plesk dashboard. This section displays all the domains currently hosted on your Plesk server.
Step 3: Select the Domain to Remove
- In the "Websites & Domains" section, locate the domain you want to delete.
- Click the three-dot menu (or "Manage" button, depending on your version) next to the domain name you want to remove.
Step 4: Remove the Domain
- In the menu, select "Remove Domain" or "Delete" (the option may vary depending on your Plesk version).
- A confirmation message will appear, warning you about the deletion of the domain and all associated data.
Step 5: Confirm the Removal
- Review the warning to ensure you understand that removing the domain will delete all files, databases, and email accounts associated with the domain.
- If you are sure about deleting the domain, click "Yes, Remove" or "OK" to confirm the removal.
Step 6: Domain Removal Process
- Plesk will begin the process of removing the domain, which includes deleting its website files, databases, DNS settings, and email accounts.
- Once the domain is removed, it will no longer appear in the "Websites & Domains" section.
Important Considerations:
- Backup: Ensure that you back up any important data (e.g., website files, databases, email accounts) before removing the domain, as this process is irreversible.
- Email Accounts: All email accounts linked to the domain will be deleted, so make sure to download or back up emails if needed.
- DNS Records: If you use Plesk’s DNS service, deleting the domain will remove its DNS records. Make sure to update the DNS records if the domain is going to point to another server.
By following these steps, you can safely remove a domain from Plesk.
