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.

How do I fix the error "Record is managed by an App on this account, and cannot be deleted"?

Use the app’s Settings tab to remove domains associated with App Platform apps.

Why aren't my vanity DNS name servers resolving?

If you use vanity or branded DNS nameservers that delegate to DigitalOcean’s nameservers, you must update to new IP addresses.

How do I fix the DNS error "Primary Name Server Not Listed at Parent"?

Update your registrar to use DigitalOcean’s name servers.
