# 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.
