Set up the plugin

After installation, open WHM and navigate to the bunny.net cPanel plugin page.

1. Set up the DNS cluster

   The plugin requires a DNS cluster to be configured. Click Setup DNS cluster to open the DNS Cluster configuration page.

   The DNS Role must be set to write-only.

   
2. Add a server to the DNS cluster

   On the DNS Cluster page, select cPanel as the Backend Type and click Configure.

   
3. Configure the DNS cluster

   Enter your bunny.net API key and set the DNS Role to Standalone.

   You can also enable Sync all DNS zones to automatically synchronize all existing DNS zones to the cluster.

   You can find your API key in the bunny.net dashboard.

   
4. Enter your bunny.net API key

   Back on the plugin page, enter your bunny.net API key and click Setup.

   
5. Setup complete

   The setup is complete. The plugin will display your API keys and the available pricing zones.

   The bunny.net API key also needs to be updated on the DNS cluster. If you see a warning about this, update it in Clusters > DNS Cluster.

   

After setup, you can configure bunny.net features per hosting package under Packages > Edit a Package.
