IPv6 Support in DNSONLY

Please provide the feature to enable ip version 6 in the DNS only release of cPanel. It is vital as sooner or later ip version 6 is going to be required.

It's the only missing feature to get IPv6 properly supported for webhosting. The main panel works great, but it would be perfect if all DNS servers would also be able to have IPv6 configured from the web interface.

We are planning on becoming IPv6 ready by the end of the year and this is a major obstacle if DNSOnly doesn't support it.

We were able to get it working with cPanel DNS only. Just have to tweak that one file.

I would love to see see the IPv6 supported in cPnel DNS Only Servers


I added to /etc/named.conf and restarted Named Service below


  1. listen-on-v6 { any; };after the lineoptions {


But IPv6 IP does not show up in Basic WebHost Manager® Setup when you click on the Configure Name Server Record. Unless I have to manually add it there.

Any updates on this cPanel, would be useful for those of us running IPv6 compatible hosting.

Yes, any movement on this? Seems kind of crazy the DNSOnly version doesn't have the same full IPv6 support provided in the regular cPanel version.

We need IPv6 for DNSONLY added, as there is more and more tools becoming available for endusers to demand IPv6 support.

Here is 2 examples for Dutch and Danish customers:

Getting a cPanel issued certificate doesn't work if I want to use IPv6 with my DNSOnly server. I opened a ticket and got redirected to this 6 years old feature request.

The only way to do this at the moment Kai is to enable IPv6 listener in the DNS Server configuration file. No news on any updates as to when / if they will enable this in DNS only. I suspect not as DNS node I believe is the preferred option.
