This area of WHM provides access to some basic functions relating to your server’s Domain Name System (DNS) data.
Helpful links: If you are using named (BIND) as your nameserver software, you can learn more about it at BIND's website. If you are using NSD (Name Server Daemon), you can learn more about it at NSD's website.
Â
- Add a DNS Zone — This feature allows you to set up a DNS zone on your server. A DNS zone is an administrative space or portion of the domain name system. This space is responsible for directing traffic to the correct locations.
Â
- Delete a DNS Zone — This tool allows you to delete DNS zones from your server. You may delete multiple zones at once, or delete a single zone.
Â
- Edit DNS Zone — This feature allows you to edit the records in a domain’s DNS zone file.
Â
- Edit MX Entry — This WHM feature lets you list destination mail servers, designating a priority value to each, 0 being the highest priority.
Â
- Edit Zone Templates — If you have a custom DNS setup, you may wish to edit the templates that WHM and cPanel use to create DNS zone files for new domains.
Â
- Park a Domain — A parked domain is a secondary domain that points to the user’s primary domain. When users attempt to access the parked domain, they will see the main website. For example, both http://www.cpanel.net and http://www.cpanel.com go to the same place, as cpanel.com is a parked domain for cpanel.net.
Â
- Setup/Edit Domain Forwarding — This feature allows you to redirect one domain to another domain. This is useful, for example, for temporarily redirecting visitors while a site is down for maintenance.
