Import DNS Records

If you have a zone file in the .zone format, you can quickly import all DNS records for a domain. This is convenient when migrating from another hosting provider or making bulk changes.

A .zone file is a regular text file that describes DNS records for a domain.

The .zone format allows you to define all required records in one place and upload them at once instead of entering them manually one by one.

Supported Record Types

The following record types are supported:

• A
• AAAA
• CNAME
• MX
• TXT
• SRV

If the file contains other record types, they will be ignored. Such records will not appear in the list during import and will not cause an error.

From the directives used in .zone files, only the following are supported:

• $ORIGIN: defines the base domain
• $TTL: defines the default TTL

Other directives will be ignored during import.
