Overview<\/h2>\n

This interface allows you to edit the templates that cPanel & WHM uses to create DNS zone files for new domains. You may wish to use this interface when you use custom DNS configurations.<\/p>\n

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

The system does not<\/strong> transfer custom DNS zone templates. When you transfer an account with WHM\u2019s Transfer Tool<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Transfers >> Transfer Tool<\/em>), the system ignores these zone templates when it recreates the account on the destination server. You must<\/strong> recreate any custom DNS zones on the destination server after you transfer the account.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
