#### Modifying Resource Records

To modify the properties of a resource record:

1. Go to Domains > domain name > DNS.
2. Click the hyperlink in the Host column corresponding to the resource record you want to modify.
3. Modify the record as required and click OK.

To modify the entries in the Start of Authority (SOA) record for a domain:

1. Go to Domains > domain name > DNS.
2. Click SOA Preferences.
3. Specify the desired values:
   - TTL. This is the amount of time that other DNS servers should store the record in a cache. Plesk sets the default value of one day.
   - Refresh. This is how often the secondary name servers check with the primary name server to see if any changes have been made to the domain's zone file. Plesk sets the default value of three hours.
   - Retry. This is the time a secondary server waits before retrying a failed zone transfer. This time is typically less than the refresh interval. Plesk sets the default value of one hour.
   - Expire. This is the time before a secondary server stops responding to queries, after a lapsed refresh interval where the zone was not refreshed or updated. Plesk sets the default value of one week.
   - Minimum. This is the time a secondary server should cache a negative response. Plesk sets the default value of three hours.
4. Click OK.
