b) Renaming a domain via a command-line interface

 

  1. Connect to a Plesk server via SSH (Linux) / RDP (Windows Server).

  2. Use the 'plesk bin site' utility to rename a domain. In the example below, we are renaming example.com to example.net:

    Note: On Windows Server, start a command prompt as an Administrator.

    # plesk bin site --update example.com -new_name example.net
