How to Add an A Entry for Your Hostname in WHM

May 25, 2022 / cPanel & WHM

This guide will explain how to use WHM to add an A entry for your hostname. 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.

For things to work, the server’s hostname must have an A entry. Follow the below steps:

1. Log in to 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.

5. Check the IP address here to see if it is acceptable to be used as a Hostname.

6. Click on the “Add entry” button.

7. You will get a message as shown below.

I hope now you can use WHM to add an A entry for your hostname. The server’s hostname must have an A entry for things to operate. Contact eukhost 24×7 support team for any queries.
