A Records

  Collapse
Replace either all or some of the A records upon restoration for the cPanel account.
Replace all instances of the original server’s IP address with the new IP address, such as in custom A records (default). Only replace basic cPanel-provided A records in zone files.

IP Address

Linked Nodes
