Additional Domain Creation Functions

This section provides alternative methods to creating Domains beyond simply manually creating them. Additionally, this section also addresses different filtering and sorting features that are helpful in narrowing down your Domain search results.

The following features are only available for Primary Domains.

Zone Transfer

When creating a new Domain, the Zone Transfer function initiates a zone transfer from a name server that contains your domain's data. The current name server must allow zone transfers to the UltraDNS servers at the following IP addresses. Also send DNS NOTIFY and allow TSIG zone transfers to the same IP addresses.

  • 23.21.206.251

  • 34.205.12.198

  • 52.10.123.90

  • 23.21.48.87

  • 23.21.59.232

  • 54.217.202.161

  • 107.21.214.87

  • 54.245.253.13

After clicking the Add Domain button from the Domains home screen, select Zone Transfer. You can provide your Name Server details, or provide TSIG Key information by selecting the checkbox. After completing the rest of the required fields and clicking Save, your zone information will transfer automatically into the new domain you are created.

 

 

Copy Domain

Another option instead of manually creating a new domain is to copy the records from a domain already on the UltraDNS Managed Services Portal. When creating a domain, click the Copy Domain button, and then provide the name of the domain you want to copy, and then click the Save Changes button.

 

 

Load a Domain File

The final option is the Load a Domain option, which allows you two different ways to utilize an existing domain to create your new domain. You can either:

  1. Upload a standard BIND formatted file by clicking the Choose File button.

OR

  1. Copy and paste your BIND text into the empty text box.

 

 

The following is an example of a BIND file.

$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN example.com.
@ 1D IN SOA ns1.example-zone.com. hostmaster.example-zone.com.

    IN NS ns2.anotherexample.com. ; external to domain
