# Export data from Glesys DNS

***

## Export data from Glesys DNS using the control panel

It is possible to export all your DNS data from Glesys DNS. This ensures you don’t have to worry about being locked into Glesys. You can export the data as a zone file at any time. This file can then be used with the *BIND* DNS server.

To export your DNS data, click **Actions** and then **Export** in the domain's overview in the DNS service.

In the next dialog box, the entire zone file is displayed. At the bottom, click **Download as file** to download the entire file as a text file.
