====== Manage your domain name's zone file ====== ===== Editing a zone file ===== Zone files are not edited per se, rather you will create a new version of an existing one that you then modify. Keeping in mind this principle will help you understand the logic of the process. If you use Gandi's DNS, you will manage your zone file through our interface: * [[:en:dns:zone:edit|How to edit or add zone files]] **attached to domains** * [[:en:dns:zone:normal|Using our Normal interface]] * [[:en:dns:zone:expert|Using our Expert interface]] ===== Creating a zone file ===== There are two different places where you can edit or create a zone file for use with your domain names at Gandi. * From your domain name's management page: [[en:dns:zone:edit|see here]] * From your zonefile management page: [[en:dns:zone:your-zones|see here]] ===== Changing a zone file ===== If you want to change the zonefile from the one that your domain is currently using to another one that is in your zone file portfolio, you can do this online. Log into your domain's control panel, then, in the lower-right hand of the page, in the "Zone File" section click on the link that says "**Change**". It's then a matter of choosing the one that you want from the list of available zones. ===== Information and examples on the various record types ===== * [[en:dns:zone:a-record]] * [[en:ssl:caa|CAA records]] * [[en:dns:zone:cname-record]] * [[en:dns:zone:mx-record]] * [[en:dns:zone:txt-record]] * [[en:dns:zone:ns-record]] * [[en:dns:zone:spf-record]] * [[en:dns:zone:srv-record]] [[en:dns:zone:ptr-record]] ===== See also ===== * [[:en:dns:zone:subdomain|How to create a subdomain]]
