In WHM, DNS zones store the DNS records for each domain hosted on your server. Sometimes you may need to delete a DNS zone, such as when a domain is no longer hosted on your server, or you want to reset and recreate its DNS configuration.
✅ Step 1: Log in to WHM
-
Open your browser and go to your WHM login URL (usually
https://yourserverIP:2087). -
Enter your username and password.
-
Click Login.
✅ Step 2: Navigate to DNS Functions
-
In the WHM search bar (top-left corner), type DNS Functions.
-
Click on Delete a DNS Zone.
✅ Step 3: Select the Domain
-
You will see a list of all domains with DNS zones on your server.
-
Tick the checkbox beside the domain name you want to delete.
✅ Step 4: Delete the DNS Zone
-
Scroll down and click the Delete button.
-
WHM will ask for confirmation.
-
Click Yes, Delete to confirm.
✅ Step 5: Verify Deletion
-
The domain will no longer appear in the DNS zone list.
-
DNS records for that domain will be removed from the server.
🔐 Important Notes
-
Deleting a DNS zone will remove all DNS records for the domain.
-
If the domain is still active, it may go offline until you set up DNS again.
-
Always take a backup of DNS records before deletion in case you need to restore them later.
