Managing DNS in cPanel and Verifying Propagation

Managing DNS in cPanel involves handling domain names, mapping them to specific IP addresses, and configuring various DNS records. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to manage DNS in cPanel:

You can manage the following records in cPanel:

A Record, AAAA Record, CAA Record, CNAME Record, DMARC Record, MX Record, SRV Record, TXT Record

Accessing cPanel:

1. Log in to your cPanel account (yourdomain/cpanel) using your username and password.

Managing DNS Settings:

2. Navigate to the "Domains" section and select "Zone Editor."

Adding a DNS Zone:

3. To add a new DNS zone, click on "Add Zone Record." Enter the domain name and select the type of record (e.g., A, CNAME, MX).

Adding A Records:

4. To point your domain to a specific IP address, add an A (Address) record.
   • Choose "A" from the record type.
   • Enter the name (usually '@' for the root domain).
   • Input the IP address in the "Address" field.

Adding CNAME Records:

5. For aliases or subdomains, use CNAME (Canonical Name) records.
   • Choose "CNAME" from the record type.
   • Enter the name (e.g., 'www' for www.example.com).
   • Specify the canonical name (the domain it points to).

Managing MX Records:

6. Configure Mail Exchange (MX) records for email.
   • In the Zone Editor, select "MX Entry."
   • Set the priority and enter the mail server's domain.

Adding TXT Records:

7. For various purposes like SPF or DKIM, add TXT (Text) records.
   • Choose "TXT" from the record type.
   • Enter the name and the corresponding text value.

Editing and Deleting Records:

9. To edit or delete existing records, return to the Zone Editor and select the desired action next to the record.

Testing DNS Configuration:

10. After making changes, use online tools like DNS lookup to verify the DNS configuration.
