Vanity name servers with WHM/cPanel

Posted May 15, 2014

I’m not clear on the setup of name servers for WHM/cPanel.

I understand how to setup vanity name servers as per your article, but if I use vanity and I resell an account via WHM, will my client be able to update their own DNS settings within cPanel?

I am ok with my DNS being setup via DO DNS, but I do not want to manually enter / update DNS settings for each of my clients.

Unless you have some kind of integration between cPanel/DO DNS using an API, the customer will not be able to update their DNS records. You would have to host your own cPanel DNS cluster.

I’m wondering the same thing.
