DNS Zone / HostName Issues

I'm pretty new to servers, and just recently purchased one as a way to learn more about them and host a couple friend's sites. I'm running into a bit of a problem when it comes to the server's hostname and domain's DNS zone files.

It's my understanding that each zone file should have this on the first line:

ns1.domain.com. root.ns1.domain.com.

However, all the zone files for the domains I create have this instead:

ns1.domain.com. root.hostname.domain.com.

I mean, I can edit all the zone files to correct the problem, but is there any way to make it so that when I create a domain it automatically will put the right information? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been searching through the archives and I know many of you have worlds of knowledge when it comes to this stuff. So, thanks in advance!

Editing to add that I use WHM / CPanel / RedHat 7.2 in case that matters.
