Create a zone
Last update:

Create a zone

  1. In the control panel, in the top menu, click Products and select DNS hosting.

  2. Click Add Zone.

  3. Enter the DNS zone name — the name of the domain with a dot, e.g. example.com...

  4. Click Add.

    The zone will automatically create NS and SOA records with default values:

    • NS — a.ns.selectel. ru., b.ns.selectel.ru., c.ns.selectel.ru., d.ns. selectel``.ru.
    • SOA — a.ns.selectel.ru. support.selectel.ru. <zone_serial_number> 10800 3600 604800 60, where <zone_serial_number> is the zone serial number, which changes when the zone is updated and signals the caching servers that records need to be cached again.

    After you create a zone, you can add resource records. You must delegate the domain for the records in the zone to start being given to the DNS system.
