The Dynamic DNS feature in cPanel allows users to create subdomains that dynamically update their IP addresses. This is particularly useful for devices that frequently change their IP addresses, such as home routers or setups using dynamic IPs. Here is a step-by-step guide to using this feature:
Step 1: Access the Dynamic DNS Interface
Log in to your cPanel account (How to Access Your Hosting Control Panel) and search for the "Dynamic DNS" tool in the main dashboard. Click on it to open the interface.
Step 2: Create a Dynamic DNS Domain
-
In the Create Dynamic DNS Domain section:
-
Enter a subdomain prefix (e.g.,
home). -
Select the domain you want to use from the dropdown menu.
-
Optionally, manually enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address in the IP Address field.
-
Add a description to help identify the subdomain (e.g., "Home Router").
-
-
Click the Create button to generate the Dynamic DNS domain.
Step 3: View and Manage Your Dynamic DNS Domain
After creating a Dynamic DNS domain:
-
The domain will appear in the list on the Dynamic DNS page.
-
Use the provided URL to set up automatic updates for the IP address. Copy this URL and configure it in your dynamic DNS client or device.
-
You can update the IP address manually if needed or edit the description for easier identification.
Step 4: SSL Certificate
The Dynamic DNS interface also provides an option to view the SSL certificate associated with the Dynamic DNS domain, ensuring secure communication.
