Zone file is a name server. We know every website or blog has their own domain name. this name server convert the domain name to IP address . When the users write any domain name in their browser address bar and give command to go, it will first go to the name server and the name server convert it as IP address. This file which contains the data of these domain names is called Zone file. Every zone file contains the map with DNS record list. These records are the data of domain’s name IP address, DNS and mail server’s data.
Zone files are normal text file, that’s why it can be easily editable. That means if any unauthorized person gets access to Zone files, he can easily customized these files. This may cause various problems such as website may not response timely or website may redirect to another address. This is very worse thing, isn’t it?
That’s why you should store these file in a high secured place and also should take a backup to another machine.
