Add a CAA record on cPanel

Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) is a DNS record, the record allows a domain name holder (registrant) to specify the preferred Certification Authorities (CAs) to issue certificates for their domain, thus making no other CAs authorized to do that.

If you use Cloudflare for your website DNS, CAA records can be set up by following their guide. You can find the guide at https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000310792-Configuring-CAA-Records
