This will actually generate `zones/example.com.zone` for you. The bind provider is more configurable, and you can read more information [here.]({{site.github.url}}/providers/bind)
# Converting from other providers
Once you have the system working for a test zone, try converting
other zones. Most providers have an option to export all DNS records
as a BIND-style zone file. The utility
[convertzone](https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/blob/master/misc/convertzone/README.md)
(in the `misc` subdirectory) can read a zonefile and output the
first draft of a `D()` statement for a zone.
Add the output to the `dnsconfig.js` and clean it up until
`dnscontrol preview` lists no changes. At that point,
it matches the running zone precisely and the conversion is done.
