Verwenden des DNS-Zoneneditors in cPanel

The DNS Zone Editor in cPanel allows you to manage custom DNS records for a domain. Through this interface, you can add, bearbeiten, and delete records that control how services such as websites and email are routed.

Understanding DNS record types

A DNS zone contains multiple record types. The most commonly managed records include:

• A records associate a hostname with an IPv4 address.
• CNAME records create aliases that point one hostname to another hostname.
• TXT records store text values and are commonly used for email authentication mechanisms such as SPF and DKIM.

Improper DNS configuration can disrupt website access or email delivery, so changes should be made carefully.
