DNS records are the individual instructions that tell the internet where your website, email, and other services live. When your domain uses your host’s nameservers, you manage those records right in cPanel, in the Zone Editor. This is where you add, edit, or remove records like A, CNAME, MX, and TXT.
The Steps
- Log in to cPanel and open Zone Editor in the Domains section.
- Find your domain and click Manage to see its records.
- To add one, click + Add Record, choose the type, and fill in the details.
- To change one, click Edit next to it, update the value, and save.
- To remove one, click Delete and confirm.
The Records You’ll Meet Most
A record points a name to an IP address. CNAME points a name to another name. MX directs your email. TXT holds verification and security records like SPF and DKIM.
Tread carefully with MX and TXT. A wrong edit here can stop your email from working or hurt your deliverability. If you are touching mail or verification records, double-check the values, and when in doubt, ask us first.
