2. Via Domain detail page
When you are registering or transferring a domain, you will be asked in the last step to define the nameserver you want to use. If you select the openprovider or Sectigo DNS nameservers, the system will automatically create a new zone, only containing the SOA and NS record.
You can also select a template here (optional), in order to create your zone in a pre-defined format. Be aware - this will not overwrite any zone and therefore will only work when there is no existing zone yet.
Creating a zone via API
DNS Zone can also be created via Openprovider API.
