What to Do if the DNS Zone Editor Is Missing or Not Working in OzSpeed

The DNS Zone Editor is essential for managing your domain’s DNS records. If the tool is missing or not functioning correctly in your OzSpeed hPanel, follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

Step 1: Verify Your Account Permissions #

1. Confirm Your Hosting Plan:
   • Some hosting plans, especially basic ones, may not include access to the DNS Zone Editor.
   • Upgrade your plan if necessary to gain access to DNS management features.
2. Check Domain Registration:
   • Ensure the domain is registered and active in your OzSpeed account.
   • Domains registered elsewhere might require changes through the third-party registrar.

Step 2: Refresh Your Dashboard #

1. Log out of your OzSpeed hPanel, clear your browser cache, and log back in.
2. Use a different browser or incognito mode to ensure there are no display or caching issues.

Step 3: Ensure Nameservers Are Pointing to OzSpeed #

1. If the domain uses third-party nameservers, the DNS Zone Editor may be disabled as OzSpeed isn’t managing the DNS.
2. Update your domain’s nameservers to OzSpeed:Copy codens1.ozspeed.com ns2.ozspeed.com
   • Wait for DNS propagation (up to 24–48 hours) and check again.

Step 4: Contact OzSpeed Support #

1. Open a Support Ticket:
   • Log in to your OzSpeed account and navigate to the Support section.
   • Provide details about the missing or non-functional DNS Zone Editor.
2. Include Specific Information:
   • Domain name.
   • A description of the issue.
   • Any error messages displayed.

Step 5: Temporary DNS Management Workarounds #

1. Use an External DNS Manager:
   • Services like Cloudflare or your domain registrar’s DNS management tools can temporarily handle your DNS needs until the issue is resolved.
2. Delegate DNS Records:
   • If you can’t edit the DNS records yourself, contact OzSpeed support to request manual changes.

3. Expired Domain or Hosting Plan:
