Frequently Asked Questions
What are DNS records?
DNS records are instructions stored in authoritative DNS servers that provide information about a domain. They map domain names to IP addresses (A/AAAA records), define mail servers (MX records), create aliases (CNAME records), store text data like SPF and DKIM (TXT records), and specify nameservers (NS records). Every website relies on DNS records to function properly.
What is an A record?
An A record (Address record) is the most fundamental DNS record type. It maps a domain name to an IPv4 address (e.g., 93.184.216.34). When you type a domain name in your browser, the DNS resolver looks up the A record to find the server's IP address. AAAA records serve the same purpose but for IPv6 addresses.
What is an MX record?
An MX record (Mail Exchange record) specifies which mail servers are responsible for receiving email for a domain. MX records include a priority value -- lower numbers indicate higher priority. For example, a domain might have MX records pointing to mail1.example.com (priority 10) and mail2.example.com (priority 20) as a backup.
