One click clear local server DNS cache
Open Discussion
An issue sometimes pops up when adding a new domain to an account on your server. You may have updated your A records and you may have checked for propagation on something like whatsmydns.net or google dig. To find that, yes, your new IP is showing and people are landing on the new IP address for the domain but you can't create an SSL cert as your server still has cached DNS info for the domain.
Just a clear server DNS cache button on the main backend would be amazing for this to streamline and speed up transfers where you want to limit downtime

Hello, Martin!
I wanted to comment on this that once you make a change in a DNS zone the changes are applied right away. There is no cache and flushing the DNS cache will not make a difference.
A computer may get an old record if only the resolver they are using responds by accessing the data from its cache rather than doing a lookup to your DNS server which will always return the current value of each DNS record.
There is no DNS cache on servers powered by SPanel.
