Understanding the different types of DNS records and their purposes

A Record

Maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. Essential for website hosting and email delivery.

Example: yourdomain.com → 192.0.2.1
AAAA Record

Maps a domain name to an IPv6 address. Required for IPv6 connectivity and future-proofing.

Example: yourdomain.com → 2001:db8::1
CNAME Record

Creates an alias from one domain name to another. Useful for subdomains and redirects.

Example: www.yourdomain.com → yourdomain.com
MX Record

Specifies mail servers for email delivery. Critical for receiving emails at your domain.

Example: yourdomain.com → mail.yourdomain.com
TXT Record

Stores text information. Used for SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and domain verification.

Example: SPF verification strings
NS Record

Delegates a domain to specific nameservers. Controls where DNS queries are resolved.
