DNS Functions
The following functions were added to the XML-API in cPanel™ 11.25.0:
addzonerecord

editzonerecord
This function allows you to edit an existing zone record.
getzonerecord
This function allows you to view DNS zone records associated with a given domain.

How do you know if an DDoS attack is happening?
Not all disruptions to service are the result of a denial-of-service attack. There may be technical problems with a particular network, or system administrators may be performing maintenance. However, the following symptoms could indicate a DoS or DDoS attack:
* unusually slow network performance (opening files or accessing websites)
* unavailability of a particular website.
* inability to access any website.
* dramatic increase in the amount of spam you receive in your account.
Account Functions
domainuserdata - This function displays information about a given domain, including addon and subdomains,whether CGI aliasing is enabled, log locations, and other details.
setsiteip - This function allows you to change the IP address associated with a website, or a user’s account,hosted on your server.
Account Backup and Restoration
When restoring backups from read-only media a working directory is created in a suitable, writable location. The location is determined by the same function used during account creation, based upon the HOMEDIR and HOMEMATCH values in /etc/wwwacct.conf. The backup is extracted into the working directory, then the restoration occurs. Afterwards, the working directory is cleared.
The cpmove file location is now output at the end of the packaging process. Prior versions dispalyed it earlier in the process, risking losing the location due to terminal scroll buffer constraints.
Streaming support, introduced in cPanel™ 11.24, received various performance improvements. When the Express Transfer method is used with streaming, zone activation is deferred until the end of the account restoration process. This resolves an issue that occurs when transferring accounts among servers within a DNS cluster.
A Select All button was added to the Express Transfer column in the Multiple Account Transfer interface.
The transfer system now detects when the remote or local servers run out of disk space. The errors are captured and the administrator is notified.
