Overview<\/h2>\n

The cPanel DNSOnly\u00ae software allows you to run a dedicated physical nameserver. You can then use this and other servers to create a DNS cluster. It is the simplest version of cPanel & WHM and only replicates DNS zones to your other servers.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • To install cPanel DNSOnly, follow the instructions in our cPanel DNSOnly Installation documentation.<\/li>\n
  • For more information about configuring a DNS cluster, read our Guide to DNS Cluster Configurations documentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
