How to change the DNS Zone on Plesk

What is a DNS zone?
You access a website by typing its name in the browser's URL bar. The browser then associates the domain name with the IP address of the site and displays it. This connection is made possible by a linking protocol called DNS. The DNS zone is the database containing all the records for a domain name.

What is the TTL?
This section allows you to define the period during which information about your domain name can be stored in cache on your computer. After this time, the information will be considered obsolete and will be updated. The default time is 6 hours. After this time, the DNS server will check again to see if the records have changed. Reducing the time is useful for IP migration, but it is important to change the time before it expires. Once the migration is complete, it is advisable to reset the TTL to 24 hours.
