How to configure DNS records on Cloudflare and third party DNS Hosting?

 

If you want to use Cloudflare, Quic.cloud, or any third party for DNS hosting, you need to create/modify the following DNS records on your DNS control panel.

We use separate DNS Clusters to host DNS for Shared, Semi Dedicated, and Reseller Hosting. If you only want redundancy, we recommend using our nameservers and hosting the DNS with us. When we manage your DNS, it helps us better troubleshoot should there be any issues with your DNS.

 

DNS Records for Website


Please replace [yourdomain.com] with your actual domain:

A Record:
Type: A
Name: yourdomain.com
Value: [as mentioned in cPanel > Zone Editor > Manage]
Proxy: Enabled

A Record:
Type: A
Name: www.yourdomain.com
Value: [as mentioned in cPanel > Zone Editor > Manage]
Proxy: Enabled

 

DNS Records for Email


Please replace [yourdomain.com] with your actual domain:

A Record:
Type: A
Name: webmail.yourdomain.com
Value: [as mentioned in cPanel > Zone Editor > Manage]
Proxy: Disabled

A Record:

or, [as mentioned in cPanel > Zone Editor > Manage]

Note:

  • Make sure to replace [yourdomain.com] with your actual domain name.

  • For the DKIM Record, do not include the trailing semicolon [;] in Cloudflare when copying from cPanel.

  • If there is no DMARC record in cPanel, reset the DNS records to the server default values from cPanel > Zone Editor > Manage > Actions > Reset DNS Zone.

  • You can find the values for SPF and DKIM Record in cPanel > Email > Email Deliverability > Manage.

  • You can find the rest of the record values in cPanel > Zone Editor > Manage.
