How to add an A entry for your hostname in WHM

May 25, 2022 / cPanel & WHM

This guide will explain how to add an A entry for your hostname in WHM. Your server’s DNS zone files contain an A entry, also known as an A record or an address record. The A entry maps a hostname or domain to an IP address, making it possible for other computers to locate your server on the internet.

Follow the steps:

  1. Log in to WHM.
    WHM
  2. Select the “DNS Function” section.

  3. Click on the “Add an A Entry for your Hostname” option.

  4. You will enter into a new interface.

  6. Click on the “Add entry” button.
