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
