ZoneEdit considers a zone anything you need sub records for – so the A
record for sub.domain.com lives in the domain.com zone but if that’s all you
need it’s just a zone credit for domain.com.  

If you needed an MX record off the sub.domain.com it would be a new zone,
according to ZoneEdit. I believe I’ve even setup A records as
sub1.sub2.domain.com and it only counted as 1 zone credit because it was
under the domain.com zone and that's all I needed.

The other things you can use "zone credits" for include adding a backup MX
service they host, or adding additional name servers beyond the two they
provide for free.

I've been using them for years and have had no problems - I think I've had
something like 30-40 zones with them.

AFAIK:

Each unique namespace is its own DNS zone.  Anything between a "." is break
in the namespace, and thus makes it unique.

I dunno how ZoneEdit makes its own distinctions for the benefit of their
services, but nested subdomains constitute multiple DNS zones.
