Create DNS Zone

Adds the zone to PowerDNS and writes the default record set for a hosted domain.

Zone details

The zone apex, without www and without a trailing dot.

IPv4 address used for the A records in the template.

Leave this on Native unless you run secondaries.

{% if canAssignOwner %}

The panel user allowed to manage this zone. Ownership is tracked separately from PowerDNS, so this is the setting that controls access.

{% endif %}

Apex and www A records, mail, ftp, webmail, autodiscover/autoconfig, the MX, an SPF TXT record, a DMARC policy and a CAA record.

Published as default._domainkey. Values over 255 characters are split into RFC-compliant chunks automatically. Leave blank to add it later from the record editor.

Delegation

The zone becomes authoritative on this server immediately, but the internet only follows it once the registrar for the domain lists these nameservers:

Primary{{ ns1 }}
Secondary{{ ns2 }}
Server IP{{ serverIP }}

Glue records for {{ ns1 }} and {{ ns2 }} must be registered at the registrar that holds the nameserver domain. CloudPanel cannot do that for you — see Create Nameserver.

Zone created

is live on this server.
