Common DNS Record Types
DNS (Domain Name System) is the phonebook of the internet. It translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses.
- A Record: Maps a domain to an IPv4 address.
- AAAA Record: Maps a domain to an IPv6 address.
- CNAME (Canonical Name): Maps one domain name (an alias) to another.
- MX (Mail Exchange): Directs email to a mail server. It indicates how email messages should be routed.
- TXT (Text): Provides the ability to associate arbitrary text with a host or other name. Commonly used for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
- NS (Name Server): Delegates a DNS zone to use the given authoritative name servers.
