Adding a DNS record
Step by step: how to add or edit an A, CNAME, MX or TXT record in Zone Editor.
You edit DNS records in cPanel only if the domain uses our nameservers. If you use someone else's (e.g. Cloudflare or your registrar's), records are edited there.
- Log in to cPanel: Log in to cPanel.
- In the Domains section open Zone Editor.
- Next to your domain click Manage.
- Click Add Record (or choose Add an A Record, Add a CNAME Record, Add an MX Record, Add a TXT Record).
- Fill in the fields: Name, Type, TTL and the value (Address, CNAME, Destination or Record).
- Click Save Record.
Examples#
- A record: Name
app.yourdomain.com., Address is the IP of the server you want the name to point to. - CNAME: Name
shop.yourdomain.com., CNAME is the name given to you by the external service. - TXT: Name
yourdomain.com., Record is the text you received for verification or SPF. - MX: Name
yourdomain.com., Destination is the mail server, with the given priority.
To change an existing record click Edit, and to remove it click Delete.
After saving, the change is visible once the TTL expires; see DNS propagation. Meaning of records: DNS records explained.
