When to add more
| Need | Add |

What it costs
One Managed DNS zone uses 1 credit per month — about 12 credits per zone per year. Add-ons draw additional credits only while enabled.
Migrating a zone
1. Export your current records
Capture every A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and other record from your existing provider.
2. Recreate the zone in ZoneEdit
Add the records and lower TTLs ahead of the cutover so changes propagate quickly.
3. Verify, then delegate
Confirm the zone resolves correctly, then point your registrar at the ZoneEdit nameservers shown in your control panel.
