How to Manage DNS Records in cPanel ?

November 17, 2025

Managing DNS records in cPanel allows you to control how your domain resolves, email delivery, and other services. With cPanel’s Zone Editor, you can configure A, CNAME, MX, and TXT records easily. TZSMM Host provides this step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Access your cPanel at https://yourdomain.com:2083 and log in using your hosting credentials provided by TZSMM Host.

Step 2: Open Zone Editor

Scroll down to the Domains section and click Zone Editor. Here you can see all your domains and existing DNS records.

Step 3: Add a New DNS Record

Click Manage next to your domain, then select Add Record. Choose the record type (A, CNAME, MX, TXT) and fill in the required details:

  • A Record: Points your domain/subdomain to an IP address.
  • CNAME: Points a domain or subdomain to another domain.
  • MX Record: Directs emails to a mail server.
  • TXT Record: Add verification or SPF/DKIM records for email and domain verification.

Step 4: Edit Existing Records

To modify a record, click the Edit button next to it. Update the IP address, hostname, or TTL as required. After changes, click Save Record.

Step 5: Delete Records

If a DNS record is no longer needed, click Delete next to it. Confirm deletion to remove the record. Ensure you understand the impact before deleting important DNS entries.

Step 6: Verify Changes

DNS changes may take time to propagate (up to 24-48 hours). Verify your DNS records using tools like WHOIS or DNS Checker.

Conclusion

Managing DNS records in cPanel is essential for controlling how your domain, subdomains, and emails function. By following these steps, you can confidently add, edit, and verify A, CNAME, MX, and TXT records. TZSMM Host supports you in managing DNS efficiently for your websites.
