# Domain Management DNS / Domain Management ## Create DNS zone record - [POST /addzonerecord](https://api.docs.cpanel.net/specifications/whm.openapi/domain-management/addzonerecord.md): This function adds a DNS zone record. Important: * When you call this function, you must include the additional parameters for the selected zone record type. * When you disable the DNS role, the system disables this function. Note: On servers that run CentOS 7, you may see a named warning about the absence of SPF resource records on DNS. * This warning is not relevant on CentOS 7 servers, because RFC 7208 deprecated SPF records. CentOS 7 servers use TXT records instead of SPF records. * Red Hat 7.1 and CentOS 7.1 both contain bind-9.9.4-23.el7, which is an updated version of BIND that complies with RFC 7208. To resolve this issue, update your operating system to a version that contains the updated version of BIND. For more information, read the Red Hat Bugzilla case about SPF record errors. ## Create domain alias - [GET /create_parked_domain_for_user](https://api.docs.cpanel.net/specifications/whm.openapi/domain-management/create_parked_domain_for_user.md): This function creates an alias (parks a domain on a web virtual host). ## Create subdomain - [GET /create_subdomain](https://api.docs.cpanel.net/specifications/whm.openapi/domain-management/create_subdomain.md): This function creates a subdomain. ## Delete domain - [GET /delete_domain](https://api.docs.cpanel.net/specifications/whm.openapi/domain-management/delete_domain.md): This function deletes a domain.

Note: Only servers that run PowerDNS can use DNSSEC. If you call this function on a server that doesn't use PowerDNS, you will receive an error. ## Validate local server is authoritative - [GET /has_local_authority](https://api.docs.cpanel.net/specifications/whm.openapi/domain-management/has_local_authority.md): This function checks whether the local server has the authority to publish changes for the domain's DNS records.

This also resets the domain's subdomain DNS records, and restores zone file subdomains in the server's httpd.conf file. For example, use this function to restore DNS zones that are corrupt. Note: Zone resets preserve valid TXT records, but all other records will return to their default values. Important: When you disable the DNS role, the system disables this function. Note You must include either the domain or the zone parameters. ## Return domain's IP address - [GET /resolvedomainname](https://api.docs.cpanel.net/specifications/whm.openapi/domain-management/resolvedomainname.md): This function resolves a domain's IPv4 address. ## Create mail exchanger record - [GET /savemxs](https://api.docs.cpanel.net/specifications/whm.openapi/domain-management/savemxs.md): This function creates a new MX record.
