Basics

What is Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS)?

¤  CZDS is a public system that allows users to request and download zone

files, free of charge.

¤  Zone files provide publicly available zone data, which is available to

everyone on DNS, once a domain is registered.

¤  Section 2, Specification 4 of the Registry Agreement defines conditions for

Registry Operators to approve or deny a zone file access request.

¤  In parallel with Section 2.1.1 of Specification 4, all end-users must accept

the same Terms & Conditions, every time they request zone file access.
