# Modifying DNS in WHM

In this guide we will show you how to **modify DNS in WHM**. As a **reseller** there may be times when you have to make changes to the **DNS entries** for a domain, this can be accomplished in WHM without knowing the **cPanel** password of the account you want to modify.

**NOTE:** This guide requires WHM access. WHM access is included (at no extra charge) with our [Dedicated Server](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/dedicated-servers), [VPS hosting](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/vps-hosting), and [Reseller Hosting ](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/reseller-hosting) plans.

Keep in mind that any DNS modification can take up to 24 hours to propagate. Also, be careful when you modify DNS, as incorrect entries can cause a domain not to load.

## How to Modify DNS in WHM

1.
   1. [Login to WHM](/support/edu/whm/log-into-whm/) (Web Host Manager).
   2. In the left navigation menu, click **DNS Functions**, then click the **Edit DNS Zone** button. [![modify DNS in WHM](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/reseller_edit-dns.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/reseller_edit-dns.png)
