What Is a DNS Zone File?

A DNS zone file is a text file in BIND format that contains all the DNS records for a domain. It's the standard format for importing/exporting DNS configurations between providers, backing up your DNS setup, or configuring self-hosted DNS servers.

Most DNS providers (Cloudflare, Route 53, cPanel, Plesk) can import and export BIND zone files.

  • CNAME — Alias to another hostname
  • MX — Mail exchange server
