To remove a subdomain redirect in Plesk, you need to undo the URL forwarding or redirection settings that were previously applied to the subdomain. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you remove a subdomain redirect:
Step-by-Step Guide to Remove a Subdomain Redirect 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
- After logging in, click on the "Websites & Domains" tab in the Plesk dashboard.
- This section will show all the domains and subdomains hosted on your Plesk server.
Step 3: Find the Subdomain to Remove the Redirect
- Under the "Websites & Domains" tab, locate the main domain (e.g.,
example.com) that contains the subdomain you want to modify. - Find the subdomain (e.g.,
sub.example.com) for which you have set the redirect.
Step 4: Access the Subdomain's "Hosting Settings"
- Click on the "Manage" button next to the subdomain you want to modify.
- In the subdomain management page, look for "Hosting Settings" or "Web Hosting Settings" (depending on your version of Plesk).
Step 5: Disable or Remove the Redirect
- In the Hosting Settings page, locate the "Forwarding" section. This is where the redirect to an external URL was set up.
- If you see that URL forwarding (redirect) is enabled, you can remove or disable it by selecting the "None" option or simply deleting the external URL from the forwarding settings.
- Alternatively, you may also have the option to remove the forwarding rule entirely by clicking the "Delete" or "Remove" button.
Step 6: Save Changes
- After removing the forwarding URL or disabling the redirect, click "OK" or "Apply" to save your changes.
- Plesk will now remove the subdomain's redirect, and visitors to the subdomain will no longer be redirected to the external URL.
Step 7: Verify the Changes
- After making the changes, test the subdomain by entering the URL (e.g.,
sub.example.com) in your browser. - The subdomain should now load the original content or default page for the subdomain instead of being redirected to the external URL.
Additional Notes:
- DNS Records: If you had previously pointed your subdomain to a specific IP address for the redirection, ensure that the DNS settings for the subdomain are correctly set after removing the redirect. You may need to verify that the A record or CNAME record is still valid.
- SSL Considerations: If the subdomain was previously using HTTPS, ensure that SSL certificates and configurations are still intact after removing the redirect.
By following these steps, you can remove a subdomain redirect in Plesk. After the redirect is removed, the subdomain will serve its original content, and visitors will no longer be forwarded to the external URL.
