In this article, you will learn how to reset DNS settings to the default in cPanel.
The Zone Editor in cPanel lets you quickly restore your DNS settings to their original configuration if necessary. Remember that this will remove any custom DNS records, so if necessary, make a backup of them first.
Follow the steps to reset DNS in cPanel:
- Log in to your cPanel account.
- In the “Domains” section, click “Zone Editor.”

- Locate the domain you want to reset.
- Click “Manage” next to the domain name.

- Open the “Actions” dropdown above the DNS records table.
- Select “Reset DNS Zone.”

- Confirm the reset in the pop-up by clicking “Continue.”

Please note that DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours to fully propagate. Resetting your DNS will restore the default records provided by your hosting provider. If the reset option isn’t visible in your cPanel, you may need to contact your hosting support team for assistance.
