How to manage DNS records in cPanel

Log in to cPanel from your XL Hosts NL client area and open Zone Editor under Domains. Choose the domain you want to manage, then select Manage. Use Add Record to create A records for website IP addresses, CNAME records for aliases, MX records for email routing and TXT records for verification or SPF. Always copy DNS values exactly as supplied by your service provider. Avoid deleting existing records unless you are sure what they do, because DNS controls websites, email and verification services. After saving changes, allow time for DNS propagation, which can take from minutes to several hours.
