I don't see my host listed here, how can I find my DNS records?

If you don't see an option for DNS, Zone Files, or a similar section in your host's admin panel or cPanel, first try searching for "DNS Records" in your host's support database/knowledgebase articles. If you still can't find them, try reaching out to your host's support team directly. Some hosts don't allow you to view or manage your DNS records directly; instead, they can provide you with a screenshot or text file containing the records if you need access to them.
