How to Add an A Record in cPanel Using Zone Editor

An A record points a domain or subdomain to an IPv4 address. You can add one in cPanel’s Zone Editor.

1. Log in to cPanel, for example at example.com/cpanel.
2. In the Domains section, click Zone Editor.
   

Find the domain you want to update. The available record actions appear beside it.

3. Click A Record. In the window that opens, enter the record details:
   • Name: Enter the domain or subdomain name, such as blog. cPanel may append the domain, creating blog.example.com.
   • Address: Enter the IPv4 address the name should point to.
4. Save or add the record.

A success message indicates that the record was added. DNS changes may take time to appear across the internet; propagation can take up to 24 hours.
