Hi guys, i have a reseller account, i want to change my email

i already change the email in WHM > List accounts > the primary domain > Change Contact Email

also in the hosting company WHMCS (the place that i bought this reseller account) > Client Area > My Details > Email Address


then i check my domain using domainwhitepages.com, but in the DNS records > email > its still says my old email address

please help, how to make the email in dns records changed to new email address, for current sites, and new sites that i will add again later

WHM -> DNS Functions -> Edit DNS Zone -> Select the zone name & click [Edit] ->

Edit the SOA record (Start Of Authority)

The support name goes in seperated by a . NOT an @ symbol

so: my.name.domain.tld

it is just for current sites only right?

if i add new sites, its looks like still using the old email address

To change it for all zones, edit the zone templates to update the SOA then use "Synchronize DNS Records" to set them all to the new SOA record

ok i found it in whm

DNS Functions > Edit Zone Templates

in that page, there is these options

simple - Domains with an A entry only
standard - Domains on a dedicated IP address, parked domains, and addon domains
standardvirtualftp - Domains on a shared IP address

but the content all just looks like this, there is no myoldemail@domain.com address

; cPanel %cpversion%
; Zone file for %domain%
$TTL %ttl%
@ %nsttl% IN SOA %nameserver%. %rpemail%. (
%serial% ; serial, todays date+todays
86400 ; refresh, seconds
7200 ; retry, seconds
3600000 ; expire, seconds
86400 ) ; minimum, seconds

%domain%. %nsttl% IN NS %nameserver%.
%domain%. %nsttl% IN NS %nameserver2%.
%domain%. %nsttl% IN NS %nameserver3%.
%domain%. %nsttl% IN NS %nameserver4%.

%nameserverentry%. IN A %nameservera%
%nameserverentry2%. IN A %nameservera2%
%nameserverentry3%. IN A %nameservera3%
%nameserverentry4%. IN A %nameservera4%

%domain%. IN A %ip%

localhost.%domain%. IN A 127.0.0.1

%domain%. IN MX 0 %domain%.

adviced again please, thank you before

Ok, in that case you can either hardcode your email into the zone templates or set it globally in Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel & WHM Setup -> Contact information

i am using whm reseller

there is only Nameservers option in that page, i thought i need to contact my host to change that email? if anyone have suggestion which part my host should change that email please share

Ok that means you either ask your server provider to change it, which they may not want to or just hard code the templates.

To change for all areas, SOA, and then set them all to the new SOA record updates using the "DNS records for" Sync to the area you want to modify the template
