Migrating from BIND to PowerDNS

Hi @DennisMidjord

There is nothing that you should need to do to convert to PowerDNS through the WHM interface. WHM handles this for you.

You can do this though DNS clustering/replication outside of the method provided through cPanel is not something we provide support for.

 

Yes it shouldn't cause any issue - conversion is done by WHM.

As I said before if you want replication we recommend the DNS Clustering option within cPanel. We do not support replication outside of the clustering feature provided by cPanel. If you want DNSSEC and Clustering this is not available at this time with PowerDNS through cPanel/WHM.

I'm not sure how "DNS hosting directly from WHMCS" works but I do want to point out that if you are a root administrator of your server you can create your own nameservers and manage DNS directly through your server without WHMCS - How to Set Up Nameservers in a cPanel Environment - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

Our installation of Power DNS uses a bind backend - I believe what you're referencing is the storage method of the dns zones power dns supports a generic mysql backend in it's own installation but ours is using bind. There will be an update to pdns in coming versions as well - which will include more supported features.

Thanks!
