Change DNS records at cPanel (generic)

Where the DNS settings live

1. Log in to cPanel (usually yourdomain.com/cpanel or a link from your host).
2. Under the Domains section click Zone Editor.
3. Click Manage next to the domain to see all records.

Adding a record

1. Click Add Record (or the quick buttons: Add A Record, Add CNAME Record, Add MX Record).
2. Fill in Name. cPanel works in full names ending with a dot — www.yourdomain.com. — and will usually expand a short label like www for you when you leave the field. Check it before saving.
3. Set the TTL (14400 is the cPanel default) and the record value.
4. Click Add Record.

Editing or deleting a record

1. Click Edit on the record row, change the value, and click Save Record.
2. Click Delete and confirm to remove a record.

Changing the nameservers

1. cPanel cannot change nameservers — that happens at the registrar.
2. Editing the cPanel zone has no effect unless the domain's nameservers point at this server.

After you save

DNS changes aren't instant. Resolvers keep the old answer until the previous record's TTL expires, so a record with a 4-hour TTL can take 4 hours to change everywhere. Use the Route Planner's live check to see what the world sees, and the troubleshooting page if it still looks wrong after the TTL has passed.
