How to change and add DNS records in cPanel

The server address is resolved with the domain names using DNS (Domain Name Service). There are numerous A, TXT, MX, CNAME, etc. record types in this instance of DNS. Each type of DNS record has a separate function; for instance, an A record resolves the server’s IP address to the given domain, while an MX record sets up the mail exchanger for the domain. Similarly, you may frequently need to update, add, or remove DNS records in cPanel.
