API: Create new zone

addDNSZone

Requires DNS Zone editor plugin to be added and active in HostBill. Create new zone. Before creating a DNS zone, we could check to see if one exists first - see "get DNS Zone Details" - to make sure we do not create a zone over the top of one that already exists. Ideally, we should only ever need to complete this action once, per domain.

Required parameters

Parameter	Description
app_id	App ID
name	Zone name

Optional parameters

Parameter	Description
template_id	DNS template ID
ip	IP address
client_id	Client ID
postaction	Zone content, can be import-file, import-axfr, clone or leave empty to add entries manually
axfr_server	Nameserver IP, required if postaction = import-axfr
zone_file	Standard Zone File, required if postaction = import-file
clone_domain	Domain to clone zone content from, required if postaction = clone
replace_record_content	Add the parameter to replace record content (i.e. CNAMEs) as well, optional for postaction = clone
