Plesk Name Servers

If adding a website with no email hosting to our Plesk hosting platform (via the Plesk control panel), please review the key points below.

Using External DNS

Cloudflare Recommended

  • We highly recommend using a free Cloudflare account to host your DNS instead of using our name servers, but be sure to add us as a member to your account, details here:

If your domain registrar provides DNS hosting services, it's easier and faster to just update the DNS A Record with the website's web server IP shown in the control panel. Changing A records in the future is quicker than changing name servers, especially when using Cloudflare (nearly instant).

  • We do not recommend using our free email hosting on our web servers, as they are tuned for web performance, and email reliability, speed, or spam filtering are not a priority and not officially supported. Please see our Email Hosting Recommendations article for more info.

  • Keep in mind if we ever need to migrate your account or website for any reason, using our name servers may require changing name servers later, and can result in a period of downtime, hence our recommendation to use Cloudflare above, as it makes updating the A record instantaneous.

Plesk Server A Record IPs

Server: plesk.presswizards.com:

  • 74.208.220.119

Server: plesk2.presswizards.com:

  • 74.208.71.26

Server: plesk3.presswizards.com:

  • 199.241.139.113

Server: ashburn.presswizards.com:

  • 5.161.142.225

Using Our DNS

If not using Cloudflare or your registrar's DNS, or if using our email hosting, it is easier to use our name servers below, because it automates the various mail/webmail subdomains, MX, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, and Autodiscover DNS entries. You CAN use Cloudflare as recommended above instead, the related email DNS records can be manually added, and you if like, email us for assistance in setting it up for you.**

Plesk Name Servers

To use our Plesk name servers, change the name server hostnames in your Domain Registrar via the following list based on the server your site is hosted on:

Server: plesk.presswizards.com:

  • ns1.presswizards.com
  • ns2.presswizards.com

Server: plesk2.presswizards.com:

  • ns3.presswizards.com
  • ns4.presswizards.com

Server: plesk3.presswizards.com:

  • ns5.presswizards.com
  • ns6.presswizards.com

Server: ashburn.presswizards.com:

  • ns7.presswizards.com
  • ns8.presswizards.com

Keep in mind that if we need to move your website to a different server in the future, you may need to change name servers, which can result in slower updates and potentially a period of downtime, hence our recommendation of using Cloudflare and adding support@presswizards.com as a member to your account right away.
