How to Add DNS Record in cPanel?
What is DNS Record?
DNS (Domain Name System) record is a type of data stored in a domain's DNS settings that helps direct internet traffic by linking domain names to specific resources, such as websites or email servers.
Each DNS record serves a specific purpose. For example:
A Record: Points a domain to an IP address
MX Record: Directs email to the correct mail server
CNAME Record: Creates aliases for domain names
TXT Record: Holds text-based information, often used for domain verification or email authentication
DNS records play a critical role in ensuring that users can access websites, send emails, and use other domain-related services efficiently.
In the guide below, we’ll walk you through how to add DNS Record in cPanel.
Log in to cPanel using Username & Password.
Inside cPanel, scroll down to the Domains section and click Zone Editor.
In the Zone Editor area, Click Manage.
Click "+Add Record" to add DNS Record. You can see a list of DNS records such as: A Record, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, AAAA. Each record shows the name, type, and value. You also can Edit or Delete them here.
For example, if you want to add A type, you can enter the Name which is your zone name. Next, insert Record which is IPv4 Address. Click Save Record.
The DNS record has been successfully added through cPanel. Please allow some time for DNS propagation, which may take anywhere from a few minutes to up to 1 - 2 hours, depending on your domain and network settings. Once the changes have fully propagated, the new configuration will take effect as expected.
