How to change DNS zones (MX, CNAME, and A records)
Shared:
With cPanel 11.25, you now have access to make some of these changes. Note: This feature will take effect only if you are using Stratus Hosts name servers.
- In cPanel, you have an icon under "Domains" called "Simple DNS Zone Editor". This feature allows you to create and edit A and CNAME records.
- You can also create and edit your MX records with the icon under "Mail" called "MX Entry". Here are the rules for Local, Backup, and Remote.
- You can even customize your SPF records using the icon under "Mail" called "Email Authentication".
If you want Strtatus Hosts help with making these changes, then please contact Stratus Hosts via phone, live chat, or email support@stratushosts.com with your account details, and be prepared to verify your identity for the protection of your account.
Note that cPanel refuses to display any record with a comment at the end. It tells the user that there are no MX records and it is defaulting to the main A record, but this is not true. It is legitimate to have comments at the end of your records, but cPanel will not understand.
