Chapter 8 – Creating a DNS Zone in Oracle OCI


Alright, now that you’ve got your domain and your Oracle Cloud account ready, let’s dive into DNS setup!

Step 1: Accessing DNS Management in OCI

  1. Log into your Oracle Cloud Console
  2. From the left menu, go to:
    Networking > DNS Management > Zones
  3. Click on "Create Zone"

📌 Tip: Make sure you're in the right compartment and region if you don't see the options!

  1. Fill in the required information and click Create:
  • Method: Manual
  • Zone Name: hexacats.online (or your own domain)
  • Zone Type: Primary

✅ This will create your new DNS zone, ready for custom records and name server configuration.


Step 3: Copy the Name Servers from Oracle

After your zone is created, Oracle will generate a list of Name Servers (NS) for your domain.
These are crucial — they tell the internet that Oracle is in charge of handling your DNS.

Copy all of the NS records shown under the zone details.
You’ll use these in your domain provider (like GoDaddy or Hostinger) in the next chapter.

Make sure to copy all of them!

ns1.p201.dns.oraclecloud.net  
ns2.p201.dns.oraclecloud.net 
ns3.p201.dns.oraclecloud.net 
ns4.p201.dns.oraclecloud.net
