Guide to DNS Records

DNS records are essential for mapping human-friendly domain names to IP addresses. The most common types include A (Address) records, which link a domain to an IP address, and CNAME (Canonical Name) records, which alias one domain to another. MX (Mail Exchange) records direct email to mail servers, and TXT (Text) records provide additional information, often for verification purposes. Understanding these records helps in configuring your website and email services correctly. Managing DNS records through your domain registrar’s control panel ensures your web traffic and emails are properly routed. Discover additional information about DNS records!
