ℹ️ You can choose one of the following options:

Premium DNS zone
Basic DNS zone
External nameservers and DNSSEC key data
No nameservers

🚀 Premium DNS zone

Select the DNS zone option and choose the Premium DNS zone option. Existing Premium DNS zones will be auto-selected if available.
Select whether to use Vanity nameservers or not.

⚠️ If you do not have preconfigured Vanity nameservers, select not to use Vanity nameservers. For details on Vanity nameservers and setup instructions, See the ➤ Setup vanity nameservers for Premium DNS zones KB-article.
If no preconfigured Premium DNS zone exists, create a new Premium DNS zone using a DNS template or a master server in the order form.

⚠️ When using the template option, select whether to link the newly created Premium DNS zone to the template. If linked, the zone remains in sync with the template when the template is updated.

ℹ️ If required, you can create a Premium DNS zone outside the order form. For instructions, see the ➤ Create a Premium DNS zone KB-article. After creation, click Check for existing zones to load the zone into the order form.
Select whether DNSSEC should be signed automatically upon zone creation.

🧩 Basic DNS zone

Select the DNS zone option and choose the Basic DNS zone option. Existing Basic DNS zones will be auto-selected if available.
Create a new Basic DNS zone using a DNS template in the order form.
Select whether the DNS template should remain linked.

ℹ️ If required, you can create a Basic DNS zone outside the order form. For instructions, See the ➤ Create a Basic DNS zone KB-article. Once the zone has been created, click Check for existing zones to load the zone into the order form.

🌐 External nameservers and DNSSEC key data

Select the Nameservers option.
Add the external nameservers.
Add DNSSEC key data if required.

⚠️ Add DNSSEC key data only if you want to set DNSSEC during the transfer request. DNSSEC must be configured on the nameserver side before requesting the transfer.

🚫 No nameservers

Select the No nameservers option.

ℹ️ Use this option if you want to submit the transfer request without setting nameservers during the transfer.
