You can find this in WHM under DNS Functions. This area is for advanced users only, so please feel welcome to request any DNS zone changes from our administrators.
Note: MX records will require your domain to be on a special remote server list. Please request all MX record changes from our administrators.
Here is some information to help you understand DNS zones:
- Your name servers' job is to find the server and correct DNS zone in order to get the following information.
- The A record points your domain or subdomain to an ip address. (e.g. mydomain.com -> ip address)
- The CNAME record points your domain or sudomain to another domain name, like www and mail. (e.g. www.domain.com -> domain.com)
- The MX records control where your emails are received. If you want your mail hosted on another server, then this is what you will need to change. (e.g. domain.com -> server.ext)
- The NS records in the DNS zone must match the nameservers you are using.
Example:
How to change the NS records when using private nameservers (Reseller only).
- Login to WHM.
- Under DNS Functions, click Edit DNS Zone.
- Select your domain name from the list and click the Edit button.
- Look to the right of "SOA" and replace the nameserver with your primary private name server (ns1, be sure to include the trailing dot).
- Look to the right of "NS" and replace each nameserver with your private name servers (ns1 and ns2, be sure to include each trailing dot).
- Scroll down and click the Save button.
