# Restore DNS zone to default values

`GET /resetzone`

This function resets a DNS zone to its default values. This also resets the domain's subdomain DNS records, and restores zone file subdomains in the server's `httpd.conf` file. For example, use this function to restore DNS zones that are corrupt.

**Note:**

Zone resets preserve valid TXT records, but **all** other records will return to their default values.

**Important:**

When you disable the [DNS role](https://go.cpanel.net/serverroles), the system **disables** this function.

**Note**

You **must** include either the `domain` or the `zone` parameters.
