Creating a public DNS zone

Written by

    To create a public DNS zone:

    1. Open the Cloud DNS section in the folder where you want to create a DNS zone.
    2. Click Create zone.
    3. Specify the zone settings:
      1. Zone name.
      2. Zone: Domain zone. The zone name must end with a dot. You can't create public top-level domain (TLD) zones.
      3. Type: Public.
    4. Click Create.

    If you don't have the Yandex.Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

    The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

    To create a new DNS zone:

    1. View a description of the CLI create zone command:

      yc dns zone create --help

    2. Create a new public DNS zone in the default folder:

      yc dns zone create --name production-zone --zone www.example.com. --public-visibility

      Command execution result:

      id: aet2q4fn8i8icfug97p0
folder_id: aoerb349v3h4bupphtaf
created_at: "2021-03-03T19:07:08.685Z"
name: production-zone
zone: www.example.com.
public_visibility: {}

    To get access to public zone domain names, you need to delegate the domain. Specify the addresses of the ns1.yandexcloud.net and ns2.yandexcloud.net servers in your personal dashboard at your registrar.
