# [Domains] Activate DNS zone for domain

> Activate DNS management for a domain by creating a DNS zone on the DNS provider. This operation provisions the zone and returns the nameservers that must be configured at the domain registrar for DNS delegation. If the zone already exists, it refreshes the zone status and returns the current nameservers.

    ## Overview


    The OnetSolutions API provides programmatic access to manage your cloud
    infrastructure, domains, and web hosting services.


    ## Authentication


    All API requests require authentication using one of the following methods:


    - **JWT Token**: Obtain a token via login endpoints and include it in the
    `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header

    - **API Key**: Generate an API key from your account settings and use it as
    `Authorization: Bearer sk-onetsolutions-...`


    ## Rate Limiting


    API requests are rate-limited to ensure fair usage:

    - **Standard**: 1000 requests per minute

    - **Burst**: 100 requests per second


    ## Pagination


    List endpoints return paginated results. Use `page` and `page_size` query
    parameters.


    ## Error Handling


    The API uses standard HTTP status codes:

    - `200` Success

    - `201` Created

    - `400` Bad Request

    - `401` Unauthorized

    - `403` Forbidden

    - `404` Not Found

    - `429` Too Many Requests
