In the Zone File Editor, you can check your domain name's zone file records to make sure they are correct. The results display next to each zone file record. If one of the records is incorrect, you can fix it.
The Check Zone Records feature performs record-level validation checks. Specifically, it looks at your A records and ensures that your domain names, subdomains, and forwarded domain names have valid IP addresses. For example, if you create a subdomain with a missing IP address, the Zone File Errors window displays errors in the Status column and provides a Fix option.
To Check Your Domain Name's Zone File Records
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Next to Domains, click Launch.
- From the DNS menu, select DNS Manager. The DNS Dashboard displays.
- For the domain name with the records you want to check, click Edit Zone. The Zone File Editor displays.
- From More, select Check Zone Records.
NOTE: If your records do not contain errors, a Success message displays. If a record contains an error, click Fix to resolve the issue.
- Review the zone file record results, and then click OK or Close.
