Modifying DNS in WHM

In this guide we will show you how to modify DNS in WHM. As a reseller there may be times when you have to make changes to the DNS entries for a domain, this can be accomplished in WHM without knowing the cPanel password of the account you want to modify.

NOTE: This guide requires WHM access. WHM access is included (at no extra charge) with our Dedicated Server, VPS hosting, and Reseller Hosting  plans.

Keep in mind that any DNS modification can take up to 24 hours to propagate. Also, be careful when you modify DNS, as incorrect entries can cause a domain not to load.
