Create new domain
Help with creating a new domain
- Domain name
- Enter your domain name in the format of name.tld (eg. powerdns-admin.com). You can also enter sub-domains to create a sub-root zone (eg. sub.powerdns-admin.com) in case you want to delegate sub-domain management to specific users.
- Type
- The type decides how the domain will be replicated across multiple DNS servers.
- Native - PowerDNS will not perform any replication. Use this if you only have one PowerDNS server or you handle replication via your backend.
- Master - This PowerDNS server will serve as the master and will send zone transfers (AXFRs) to other servers configured as slaves.
- Slave - This PowerDNS server will serve as the slave and will request and receive zone transfers (AXFRs) from other servers configured as masters.
- SOA-EDIT-API
- The SOA-EDIT-API setting defines how the SOA serial number will be updated after a change is
made to the domain.
- DEFAULT - Generate a soa serial of YYYYMMDD01. If the current serial is lower than the generated serial, use the generated serial. If the current serial is higher or equal to the generated serial, increase the current serial by 1.
- INCREASE - Increase the current serial by 1.
- EPOCH - Change the serial to the number of seconds since the EPOCH, aka unixtime.
- OFF - Disable automatic updates of the SOA serial.
