Overview<\/h2>\n

This feature allows you to set up a DNS zone on your server. A DNS zone is an administrative space or portion of the domain name system. The records in that space direct traffic to the correct locations.<\/p>\n

The system creates zone files from a template. To edit the templates that the system uses to create zone files, use WHM\u2019s Edit Zone Templates<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> DNS Functions >> Edit Zone Templates<\/em>).<\/p>\n

When you add a domain to your server, WHM automatically configures its DNS zone. You can also use this interface to add DNS zones for remote domains.<\/p>\n

\n
Warning:<\/div>\n
\n

Exercise caution when you add a DNS zone. Incorrect DNS data can prevent a visitor\u2019s access to a domain.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Create a DNS zone<\/h2>\n

To add a DNS zone, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Under Domain Selection<\/em>, enter the IP address in the IPv4 Address<\/em> text box.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Enter the domain name in the Domain<\/em> text box.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    If you wish to associate the DNS zone with a specific domain, select that domain from the Associate with Account<\/em> list. To search the list, enter a partial domain or username in the Search<\/em> text box under the Account Search<\/em> heading.<\/p>\n

    \n
    Note:<\/div>\n
    \n
      \n
    • You cannot<\/strong> add multiple DNS zones for a single domain.<\/li>\n
    • If an account appears in the Account Selection<\/em> section, do not<\/strong> enter that domain in the Domain<\/em> text box. Use WHM\u2019s DNS Zone Manager<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> DNS Functions >> DNS Zone Manager<\/em>) to modify an existing zone file.
      \n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Click Add Zone<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Troubleshoot DNS zone issues<\/h2>\n

      If you experience difficulties when you add DNS zones through this interface, run the following script from the command line as the root<\/code> user:<\/p>\n
