Looking for this interface?
Your hosting provider can enable or disable this interface for resellers in WHM's Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges interface (WHM >> Home >> Resellers >> Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges).
Overview
This interface allows you to set the value for time to live (TTL) in your server’s DNS zones. The TTL specifies how long a DNS server caches a record before it requests an update from the authoritative nameserver, measured in seconds.
cPanel & WHM does not support email services or editing DNS for temporary domains. cPanel & WHM does not support transfers, backups, or restores of accounts with temporary domains.
Set Zone TTL
If you change the TTL for a zone(s), the system will change the TTL for all records in the selected zone(s), including the SOA and NS records.
To set the value for TTL, perform the following steps:
- Select the zone(s) that you wish to update from the menu.
- Enter the TTL in the text box.
Note:This value must be a positive integer. The default TTL is 14,400 seconds.
- If you have multiple DNS servers and do not want the TTL to synchronize across your cluster, select the Do not sync changes across the DNS cluster checkbox.
- Click Set TTLs.
The system will update the TTL values for the selected zone(s).
