Shared IP Addresses: In the Shared IP section, specify the type for existing addresses: shared or exclusive.

IMPORTANT: Since you are providing the Hosting for your domains, before adding the domains to your VPS, you will need to register name servers. Below are directions on how to do that if the parent domain you are using is registered on Domain.com’s system. If your domain is registered elsewhere, you will need to follow your current Registrar’s directions. 1. Log into your Domain.com account, not your VPS login, and click the My Domains Tab. 2. Click on your domain or you can search for the domain(s) in your account using the provided search tool 3. Click on "Register Name Server" link 4. Enter the hosname; Hostnames usually use the format of NS1 or DNS1 IMPORTANT: Do NOT use WWW as the hostname. This causes resolution problems with the Registry. 5. Enter IP Address 6. Click "Update" button You can now specify these name servers on any of the domains you add to the VPS. Adding a domain to plesk: 1. Launch the Plesk control panel <https://vps0000.managemyvps.com:8443/> where vps0000 is the VPS identifier you were issued when you purchased your VPS. 2. Select the “Desktop” menu item in Plesk. 3. Select the “Manage Files on Domain” from the “Tools” panel. 4. Click “Add New Domain”. 5. Select the account (usually ‘My Domains’ for your own websites) and click next. 6.
