How To Convert a cPanel Instance to DNSOnly

  • Updated

Introduction

 

The purpose of this article is to outline the conversion process from a cPanel instance to DNSOnly.

 

Procedure

 

NOTE: Please ensure that you have a backup of your server's existing configurations before attempting any conversions in order to preserve existing data.

 

1. Request a DNSOnly license by emailing cs@cpanel.net.

 

2. Once the license has been activated, create the dnsonly file by running the following command:

 

touch /var/cpanel/dnsonly

 

3. Update cPanel using the following script:

 

/scripts/upcp

 

4. Once completed, update the license on the server with the following command:

 

/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

 

This should complete the conversion to a DNSOnly server. More information on DNSOnly installations can be found at the resources below:
