About DNS Records

The Domain Name System (DNS) translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses. Different record types serve different purposes in this system.

Common DNS Record Types

  • A Record: Maps domain to IPv4 address (e.g., 192.168.1.1)
  • AAAA Record: Maps domain to IPv6 address
  • MX Record: Specifies mail servers for the domain
  • TXT Record: Stores text information (SPF, DKIM, verification)
  • CNAME Record: Creates alias from one domain to another
  • NS Record: Delegates subdomain to name servers
  • SOA Record: Contains administrative information about the zone
