How to manage DNS zones in the WHM panel?

 
 
DNS zone management is a critical capability that allows you to link domain names with specific services, such as web servers and mail nodes. To manage these records efficiently and securely in your WHM panel, follow this protocol:

 

1. Log in to your WHM panel with your corresponding credentials.

 

 

2. Go to the side menu and locate the path DNS Functions > DNS Zone Manager.

 

 

3. Within the master list, locate the target domain. You can optimize the search by using the text filter to find specific accounts immediately.

 

 

4. Operational Management:

 

4.1. Manage: Access the full zone view to edit, add, or remove records such as A, CNAME, MX, TXT, and others.

 

 

4.2. Quick Insert: Use the shortcuts to add new records without navigating through complex menus.

 

 

4.3. Validation and Application: When making modifications, verify the accuracy of the TTL (Time To Live) values and destinations. Finalize the operation by clicking Save Record.

 
Notes:

 

• Data Integrity: Although WHM performs automatic syntax validation, it is imperative for the administrator to confirm that IP addresses and destination records are exact to prevent resolution outages.

 

• Email Configuration: If you use external services (such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365), ensure you set the "Email Routing" to the Remote Mail Exchanger option to guarantee message delivery.

 

• Propagation Cycle: Consider that any technical adjustment triggers an update across global nodes, a process that can be completed in a few minutes or extend up to 48 hours.
