Last Updated:Oct 20, 2025

Procedure

Follow these steps to set the effective scope for a Private Zone:

  1. Go to Alibaba Cloud DNS - Private Zone.

  2. Click Private Zone, and click User Defined Zones on this tab.

  3. On the User Defined Zone tab, click Effective Scope in the Actions column for the target domain name. Select the VPCs to associate with the domain name.image
