DNS → Create DNS zone
AI-generatedSummary
Create a new DNS zone on the cPanel WHM server by specifying a domain and its IP address, optionally including IPv6, zone template, and owner information.
Inputs
- Domain (required) — The domain name for the new DNS zone.
- Ip (required) — The IPv4 address associated with the domain.
- Ipv6 — The IPv6 address for the domain (optional).
- Template — The zone file template to use; can be 'standard', 'simple', 'standardvirtualftp', or a custom template file name.
- Trueowner — The owner of the new DNS zone; defaults to the currently authenticated user if not specified.
Output shape
a single JSON object containing the response from the WHM API indicating the success or failure of the DNS zone creation.
The output includes the WHM API response parsed for errors; errors are surfaced if the creation fails. No pagination or multiple items returned.
Examples
Example 1: Create a DNS zone for example.com with IPv4 and optional IPv6 address
Set Domain to 'example.com', IP to '192.0.2.1', and optionally specify IPv6 and template fields.
