What’s a DNS?

The Domain Name System (DNS), is an essential component of the internet’s functionality. It acts as a directory that translates human-friendly domain names into IP addresses, which are used by computers to identify each other on the network. Its main role is therefore to enable access to the web through a domain name instead of its corresponding IP address.

What are DNS records?

DNS records are the rules that guide DNS servers in linking domain names to their corresponding IP addresses. They serve as a crucial part of domain management and network connectivity. Each type of DNS record holds specific details about the domain:

• A Records: link a domain to an IPv4 address
• CNAME Records: define an alias for the canonical domain name and are used to associate new subdomains with an existing domain
• MX Records: specify the server responsible for handling emails for a given domain
• NS Records: identify the current nameservers used for your domain
• SOA Records: hold essential information about the domain, such as the primary name server, time of last update, contact details and more
• TXT records: provide the ability to associate arbitrary text with a domain and can contain descriptive information
