What domains are counted in the domain limit of a Plesk license

Question

What domains are counted in the domain limit of a Plesk license?

Answer

All domains added in Plesk are counted in the domain limit:

• active/disabled/suspended domains
• domains with the "forwarding" hosting type
• domains without hosting

Subdomains and domain aliases are not counted in the domain limit, if they have been created using the Add Subdomain or Add Domain Alias buttons.

If a subdomain, e.g. sub.example.com, has been created via the Add Domain button, it will be counted in the domain limit as a domain.

Additional Information

To get the current number of domains:

1. Connect to the server via SSH (Linux) / RDP (Windows Server).

2. Run the following command (in Windows Server, use a command prompt as an Administrator):

   MYSQL_LIN: plesk db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM psa.domains WHERE parentDomainId = 0"
