DNS Records Explained

A Record

The A record maps a domain to its corresponding IPv4 address. This record is essential for routing traffic to your website and is the most common DNS record.

  • Supports IPv4 addresses (e.g., 192.0.2.1)
  • Used by nearly all web browsers to locate websites
  • Critical for website hosting and server connections

AAAA Record

The AAAA record maps a domain to its corresponding IPv6 address. It is becoming increasingly important as the internet transitions to IPv6 to support a larger number of devices.

  • Supports IPv6 addresses (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334)
  • Ensures compatibility with modern networking protocols
  • Provides improved security and scalability

MX Record

The MX record directs email to your domain’s mail server. It includes a priority value to determine the order in which multiple mail servers are used.

  • Multiple MX records can be configured for redundancy
  • Lower priority values have higher precedence
  • Essential for reliable email delivery

TXT Record

The TXT record allows you to associate arbitrary text with your domain. This is commonly used for email authentication (like SPF and DKIM) and domain ownership verification.

  • Helps prevent email spoofing
  • Used for various verification purposes
  • Can store arbitrary text data

NS Record

The NS record designates the authoritative name servers for your domain, determining which servers should be queried for DNS information.

  • Multiple NS records improve redundancy
  • Critical for ensuring domain availability
  • Essential for proper DNS delegation
