Import DNS records

This guide will show you how to import DNS records to your domain name using BIND files, also known as zone files.

BIND files are a standard way of importing and exporting large numbers of DNS records.

You can import DNS records with a BIND file by following these steps:

1. In your site’s dashboard, navigate to Upgrades → Domains (or Hosting → Domains if using WP Admin).
2. Select your domain name.
3. Click on “DNS Records” and then click the “Manage” button.
4. Click on the “Import BIND file” button in the upper right corner:

5. Select the BIND file you wish to import using your systems file navigation and choose the “Open” option.
   • An error will occur if the BIND file contains a DNS record that conflicts with an existing record.
   • Only the supported DNS records—A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, SRV, TXT, and NS—can be imported.
6. Confirm the DNS records you wish to add to your domain name in the “Import DNS records” popup.
7. Select “Import records” to complete the import.
