200 Successful operation
Zone file
The imported file has to be in BIND format, a widely used format supported by most DNS software, including the popular BIND DNS server.
The file should include all the record types associated with the selected zone. The Start of Authority (SOA) and Name Server (NS) records are not to be considered since IONOS Cloud uses its name server configuration.
