DNSSEC activation in cPanel

Introduction

• DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) is an extension of the Domain Name System (DNS) on the Internet, aimed at securing this protocol through the use of encryption algorithms.
• The cPanel control panel allows us to generate the keys necessary for DNSSEC configuration.

Requirements

• We will need the cPanel login details

Steps

• First, we will log in to the cPanel control panel.

•  Once we have logged into the control panel, we will navigate to the Domains section and click on Zone Editor.

• On the right of the domain for which we want to configure DNSSEC, we will click the DNSSEC button

• Further, we will click on the Create Key button

• After that, click the Create button again. If we need custom settings, we can click the Customize button. The default settings will work with most registrars.

• After the generation is complete, we will be able to see the records by clicking the View DS Records button.

• In the next window, we will find the keys needed to configure DNSSEC in the registrar panel.
