What are DNS Records?
DNS records tell the internet where to send traffic for your domain — like a phone book for websites.
Common Record Types
- A Record: Points domain to an IP address
- CNAME: Alias pointing to another domain
- MX: Directs email to mail servers
- TXT: Text data for verification (SPF, DKIM)
- NS: Specifies authoritative nameservers
Managing DNS in cPanel
Step 1: Log in at https://yourdomain.com:2083
Step 2: Find "Zone Editor" under Domains
Step 3: Click "Manage" next to your domain
Step 4: Add, edit, or delete records
Email Deliverability
Add these TXT records:
- SPF:
v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:67.225.137.81 ~all - DMARC:
v=DMARC1; p=none;
DNS changes take 1-4 hours typically, up to 48 hours in some cases.
