Installing cPanel DNSONLY

To install cPanel DNSONLY, perform the following steps on your CentOS 7 server:

    1. Login to your server as root via SSH.
    2. Run the following commands:
echo "CPANEL=lts" >> /etc/cpupdate.conf
echo "RPMUP=daily" >> /etc/cpupdate.conf
echo "SARULESUP=daily" >> /etc/cpupdate.conf
echo "STAGING_DIR=/usr/local/cpanel" >> /etc/cpupdate.conf
echo "UPDATES=daily" >> /etc/cpupdate.conf
cd /home
curl -o latest-dnsonly -L https://securedownloads.cpanel.net/latest-dnsonly
