What is DNS?
DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. DNS records contain various information about a domain, including its IP address (A record), mail servers (MX record), and more.
Common DNS Record Types:
- A - Maps domain to IPv4 address
- AAAA - Maps domain to IPv6 address
- MX - Mail exchange servers for the domain
- TXT - Text records for verification and SPF
- CNAME - Canonical name (alias) for the domain
- NS - Nameservers for the domain
- SOA - Start of authority record
