If you exclude a DNS server from your Plesk installation (as described in the section Choose Plesk Components of the Deployment Guide) and do not connect an external DNS service, Plesk does not provide the DNS service for websites hosted on it. Additionally, the following changes in Plesk behavior take place:
dns
or XML API requests with <dns>
nodes.Important: If you already have domains on your Plesk server and then install a DNS server or connect an external DNS service, you should configure DNS zones of these domains manually. DNS zones for domains created after you configure DNS service in your Plesk will be created automatically in accordance with the server-wide DNS template.
