How to export a domain name’s zone file records?
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Next to Domains, click Manage.
- Click the domain you want to use, and then select the DNS Zone File tab.
- Click More, and then select Export (Unix) or Export (Windows), depending on the format you want the file to be in.
- The system generates a ZIP file that contains the zone file records for your domain name. Save the file to your computer.
From the Domain Name Details page, you can export your domain name’s zone file records to use with a third party or to archive. For example, if you want a third party to manage your DNS, you can export the zone file records from us, and then import them into the third-party system. Archiving your DNS records gives you a backup copy of them if you make a mistake while editing your DNS.
The exported data follows the BIND zone file format and RFC 1035. You must manually edit the exported data before a BIND DNS server can use it directly. These edits will differ based on the requirements of the server to which you are uploading the exported file.
