    cPanel DNS Node Now Available

    Well... didn't really see this coming.

    I think most people just use a VPS license and add/remove DNS records.

    Today, we are excited to announce the immediate availability of DNS Node! You have been asking for it and our development teams have been working tirelessly to bring this new functionality to cPanel & WHM. DNS Node expands the Domain Name Service capabilities in cPanel & WHM to include even more features and functionality than ever before.

    DNSOnly™ has been a very successful product, but you asked for more. While DNSOnly allows you to sync your DNS services to another host, it does not allow cPanel access for your customers. This all changes today. DNS Node includes cPanel access with only the DNS management options available in the cPanel interface. You can now enable your customers to log in directly to cPanel to make their own DNS changes.

    We will continue to offer DNSOnly as a product for those that do not require cPanel access for their DNS only customers. And DNS will continue to be available in cPanel & WHM on Cloud and Metal. For those that require the additional functionality of DNS editing within cPanel, DNS Node is available today.

    To purchase a DNS Node license, log into your existing Manage2 account at https://manage2.cpanel.net, and add a new license today. To fully utilize the functionality of DNS Node, you will need to upgrade to Version 84. Our Customer Service team is available 7 days a week to answer any questions you may have about the product or the licensing.

    So... what exactly is the Zone Editor "feature" in end-user's cPanels?

    Or is this meant to compete with products like zoneedit.com?

    I'm guessing it is so can just setup server for the sole purpose of DNS only and because there is access to the account you are able to resell those? With DNSNode the server is less prone to security issues as it only serves DNS?

    My understanding is there are cPanel installations out there being used for strictly DNS hosting and also others being used for strictly email and each case the feature manager being used to restrict everything. The per account pricing wasn't going to work for those scenario's and now we're going to have DNS and Email only options.

    I see price is $30 for unlimited accounts? This is for DNS only but they will release an EmailNode version too?

    We don't really do anything like that... but that doesn't mean that there aren't others that do. But I just don't see this affecting us that much (unless this is a precursor to getting rid of the DNSOnly option... which I wouldn't be surprised).

    I forgot about the Server Profile was added. Saw it months ago but never really looked into it. I see there license for DNSCloud and DNSMetal for $30 for unlimited accounts but there is no license for MailCloud or MailMetal.
