What are DNS Records?

• A record: This record maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. It's essentially like a phonebook entry for your website, telling the internet where to find your server.
• AAAA record: Similar to the A record, this maps a domain name to an IPv6 address instead of an IPv4 address. IPv6 is a newer version of the internet protocol that uses longer addresses to accommodate more devices.
• CNAME record: This record creates an alias for your domain name. For example, if you have a website called "example.com" but also want visitors to be able to access it by typing "www.example.com," you can set up a CNAME record that maps "www.example.com" to "example.com."
• NS record: This record specifies which name servers are authoritative for your domain name. Name servers are essentially the phone operators of the internet, directing traffic to the correct server based on domain names.
• MX record: This record specifies the mail servers that are responsible for handling email messages for your domain name. MX stands for "mail exchange."
• TXT record: This record is a catch-all for any additional text-based information you want to include in your DNS settings. This can include things like SPF records for email authentication or verification codes for other services.
