Go to your Plesk panel (e.g., https://yourdomain.com:8443)
Enter your admin login credentials
In the left sidebar, click on "Websites & Domains"
Select the domain you want to manage
Click "DNS Settings"
Click the "Add Record" button
Then fill in the fields like this:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Record type | CNAME |
| Domain name | The subdomain you're pointing (e.g. mail) |
| Canonical name | The destination (e.g. ghs.googlehosted.com.) |
Important: Always end the Canonical name with a dot (
.) to make it a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
Click OK to add the record
Then click "Update" to apply DNS changes
To point mail.yourdomain.com to Gmail:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | CNAME |
| Domain | |
| Canonical | ghs.googlehosted.com. |
Changes may take up to 24 hours to propagate globally, but usually it's faster.
