You can also manage your DNS zones using the cross-platform [Azure CLI](dns-operations-dnszones-cli.md) or the Azure [PowerShell](dns-operations-dnszones.md). ## Create a DNS zone 1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/). 2. On the top left-hand side of the screen, select **Create a resource**. 3. Search for **DNS zone**, select **DNS zone**, and then select **Create**. 4. On the **Create DNS zone** page enter the following values, then select **Create**: | Setting | Details | | --- | --- | | **Subscription** | Select your subscription.| | **Resource group** | Select or create a new resource group. To learn more about resource groups, read the [Resource Manager](../azure-resource-manager/management/overview.md?toc=%2fazure%2fdns%2ftoc.json#resource-groups) overview article.| | **Name** | Enter a name for the DNS zone. For example: **contoso.com**. | | **Location** | Select the location for the resource group. The location will already be selected if you're using a previously created resource group. | > [!NOTE] > The resource group refers to the location of the resource group, and has no impact on the DNS zone. The DNS zone location is always "global", and is not shown. ## List DNS zones In the search resources at the top of the Azure portal, search for **DNS zones**. Each DNS zone is its own resource. Information such as number of record sets, the resource group, and subscription are viewable from this page. **Name servers** aren't visible from this view. To view name servers for a DNS zone, select the zone. Name servers (NS records) are displayed on the Overview page. To view other record sets in the zone, select **Recordsets**. ## Delete a DNS zone 1. Using the list of DNS zones, select the checkbox next to the zone you wish to delete and then select **Delete**. 2. Enter **delete** into the text box to confirm deletion and select **Delete**.  ## Next steps Learn how to work with your DNS Zone and records by visiting [Get started with Azure DNS using the Azure portal](dns-getstarted-portal.md).
