How to add a DNS zone in WHM panel?

 
 
Manual DNS zone generation is a strategic operation that allows you to link a domain to your infrastructure without the need to deploy a full hosting account. To complete this process, follow these instructions:
 
 
1. Access your WHM administration console.
 
 
 

 

2. Use the search tool in the sidebar to locate DNS Functions and select Add a DNS Zone.

 

 

3. Configuration Parameters:

 

3.1. IP Address: Specify the destination IP (typically the server's primary IP).

 

3.2. Domain: Enter the root domain name (e.g., company.com).

 

3.3. Deployment: Click the Add Zone button. The system will automatically initialize the zone file with essential records (SOA, NS, and A).

 

 
 
Notes:

 

•  Base Configurations: WHM establishes default records during creation. To integrate third-party services (such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace), additional adjustments must be made via the Edit DNS Zone tool.

 

•  Propagation Cycle: Please note that record updates may require a period of 24 to 48 hours for global resolution, depending on TTL values and network nodes.

 

•  Conflict Validation: The system features a redundancy detection mechanism that will alert you if the domain already has active records on the server, preventing resolution collisions.
