The DNS Zone Manager interface displays all of your server’s domains. To filter the list, enter a name in the text box. For each listed domain, you can perform the following actions:
- A Record — Enter a valid DNS zone name in the Name text box and a valid IPv4 address in the Address text box. Click Add an A Record to save your changes.
- CNAME Record — Enter a valid DNS zone name in the Name text box and a FQDN in the CNAME text box. Click Add a CNAME Record to save your changes.
- MX Record — Enter the record’s priority value in the Priority text box and a FQDN in the Destination text box. Click Add an MX Record to save your changes.
- DNSSEC — Manage the domain’s DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) records. When you select this record type, the system directs you to the View DNSSEC Keys interface.
- Manage — Add or edit additional domain records. When you select this setting, the system directs you to the Manage DNS Zone Records interface.

This interface displays a table with a list of the selected domain’s DNS zone records. To filter the list, enter a name in the text box or select a record type filter. You can also use this interface to add, edit, or delete the domain’s DNS zone record.
Add a DNS zone record
To add a DNS zone record, perform the following steps:

DNS zone record types
When you add a new DNS zone record, you can select from the following types:
A
IPv4 Address Record — This record maps hostnames to IPv4 addresses. These records allow DNS servers to identify and locate your website and its various services on the internet. Without appropriate A records, your visitors cannot access your website, FTP site, or email accounts.
1. Login to the cPanel of yourdomain.com
2. Click on DNS Zone Editor.
3. Select A record from zone editor.
4. Enter Name and Addressand click on Add an A recordbutton.
AAAA
IPv6 Address Record — This record is the same as an A record, but maps hostnames to IPv6 addresses.
CAA
Certificate Authority Authorization Record — This record controls which certificate authorities (CA) can issue SSL certificates for a domain.
CNAME (Canonical Name Record):
This record creates an alias for another domain name, which DNS resolves. This is useful, for example, if you point multiple CNAME records to a single A record in order to simplify DNS maintenance. When you add a CNAME record, enter the following information:
- Name — A new or existing DNS zone name. When you enter a zone name, the system automatically appends the domain name to the zone record. For example, if you create the
User
zone, the system will add the
example.com.
domain information.
- Record — Enter a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, the
example2.com
domain. You cannot point a CNAME record to an IP address.
When you are finished, click Add Record to save the new CNAME record.
