Question

Is it possible to change or remove main website/domain on a subscription in Plesk?

Resolution

Such feature is yet to be implemented in Plesk. Please take part in our product improvement by creating a feature request here.

Each subscription in the Plesk is referred to by the domain name of the first website created under that subscription. The first website is used as the main domain of the subscription. Its virtual host directory is used for the document root of additional domains in the webspace.

It is not possible to set up an additional website as the main website on the subscription. The main website on the subscription cannot be deleted or replaced with another domain.

As a workaround, it is possible to rename the main domain of a subscription

Plesk 12.x and above

  1. Go to Home > Subscriptions > example.com > Websites & Domains > example.com

  2. Click on Hosting Settings tab and specify a new name for the domain.

    Note: In case Web Admin license is used, select the required webspace(subscription) in the upper right corner and click on Hosting Settings for the required domain.

Note: The permission "Domain creation" should be enabled on the subscription. The customer cannot rename this domain without this permission.

Additional information

Is it possible to move domains between subscriptions?

    What about Plesk on a VPS (not a single domain)?
