Question

How to change a domain name in Plesk?

Answer

Plesk interface
  1. Log in to Plesk.
  2. Go to Domains > example.com > Hosting & DNS tab > Hosting.
  3. In the Domain name field, change the domain name.

  4. Save the changes.

    Note: If this is the main domain of the subscription, subscription name will be also changed.


     

Command-line interface
  1. Connect to your Plesk server via SSH (Linux) / RDP (Windows Server).

  2. Use the plesk bin site utility to rename a domain. In the example below, we are renaming example.com to example.net:

    Note: On Windows Server, start a command prompt as an Administrator.

    # plesk bin site --update example.com -new_name example.net

Note: If the domain, which has been renamed, is a WordPress-based website, rename the website name in WordPress CMS as well.
