Can I import a DNS zone?

You currently cannot import an existing DNS zone to DigitalOcean from another DigitalOcean account or a different DNS service.

Instead, you need to add your domain to DigitalOcean and manually create its DNS records.

If you use vanity or branded DNS nameservers that delegate to DigitalOcean’s nameservers, you must update to new IP addresses.
Update your registrar to use DigitalOcean’s name servers.
Apps do not have static IP addresses so you cannot point an A record at an app.
