- Moving all Plesk domains existing on a Plesk node to another IP address by reassigning a Plesk node IP address.

Connection to Plesk nodes is established via the special agent software - Plesk Agent.

And when you register a Plesk node in Parallels Business Automation - Standard, you need to install the Plesk agent to the Plesk Node and after this, go to the Infrastructure Manager and specify the IP address of the Plesk node you are registering and the Plesk node administrator's password.

Customers that have subscribed on Plesk hosting at your shop get the Parallels Business Automation - Standard Control Panel to manage their domains, but with the Plesk functionality and real access to the Plesk server. Customers subscriptions can be managed from the Control Center using the Parallels Business Automation - Standard billing (renewal settings, paying orders, putting subscription on hold, notifications, etc.).

Note: Parallels Business Automation - Standard and Plesk use different name servers. Plesk domains purchased in Parallels Business Automation - Standard store are managed by Parallels Business Automation - Standard DNS servers, while DNS files are created and stored on Plesk DNS server according to Plesk internal DNS templates. Certain DNS records are initially created and stored on the Parallels Business Automation - Standard DNS server, according to the DNS template specified for the corresponding Parallels Business Automation - Standard hosting plan. Changes to domain zone files in the Plesk panel are partly applied to the DNS files stored on Parallels Business Automation - Standard DNS server. DNS files created on Plesk and Parallels Business Automation - Standard DNS files get automatically synchronized, except for SOA, PTR, and NS records, which are stored on Parallels Business Automation - Standard name server and are not modified.
