Prerequisites
- Access to the DNS manager of your registrar (where you purchased your domain).
- Plesk server IP: 82.26.157.248
- Access to Plesk panel: https://plesk.verycloud.fr
Steps
1. Configure DNS Records
Log in to your registrar’s client area, then add/modify the following DNS records:
| Record | Type | Host / Name | Value / Address |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root domain | A | @ (yourdomain.com) | 82.26.157.248 |
| www | CNAME or A | www | yourdomain.com (CNAME) or 82.26.157.248 (A) |
- If you want to use IPv6, also add an AAAA record pointing to your server’s IPv6 address (if available).
- Save changes and wait for DNS propagation (from a few minutes up to 24h).
2. Add the Domain in Plesk
- Log in to https://plesk.verycloud.fr with your admin credentials.
- Go to Websites & Domains → Add Domain.
- Enter your domain name (e.g.
yourdomain.com). - Choose hosting options (website, mail, etc.).
- Enable the DNS service if you want to manage DNS records directly from Plesk.
3. Activate SSL
- In the domain settings inside Plesk, go to SSL/TLS Certificates.
- Use the Let’s Encrypt extension to issue a free certificate.
- Ensure ports 80 and 443 are open on your server.
Example
Suppose you own the domain mywebsite.com and want it to point to Plesk at IP 82.26.157.248.
| Record | Type | Host / Name | Value / Address |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root domain | A | @ | 82.26.157.248 |
| www | CNAME or A | www | mywebsite.com (CNAME) or 82.26.157.248 (A) |
Then, in Plesk, add mywebsite.com as a domain, enable DNS if needed, set up hosting, and activate SSL.
Notes
- If your registrar does not allow you to modify some records, you may need to contact their support.
- If you use external DNS (e.g. Cloudflare), disable proxy (orange cloud) while issuing SSL certificates to avoid validation issues.
- Don’t forget to configure MX records if you plan to handle email for this domain.
