How to setup own name servers in Plesk

Log in to Plesk at https://YourIPAddress:8443

(Note: Before following the instructions add the IP Addresses in Plesk
under Server Administration -> IP Aliasing. You can order additional IP address in
your Control Panel. Follow FAQ: How do I order additional IP
Addresses?)

1. First add the name servers for the domain at Clients -> any client you setup ->
the domain name of the client. Choose the record type A and click Add.

2. Enter any name for the name server (For e.g. ns1) and assign an IP address.
Click OK. Do the same for the other name server too. (For e.g. ns2)
You cannot have two name servers with the same IP. The IP Addresses for the
name servers (ns1 and ns2) should be different.
