The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical and decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet. It translates human-readable domain names to numerical IP addresses needed for locating and identifying computer services and devices.
Maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. This is the most fundamental type of DNS record and is used to point a domain to a web server.
Example: example.com → 93.184.216.34
Similar to an A record, but maps a domain name to an IPv6 address instead of IPv4.
Example: example.com → 2606:2800:220:1:248:1893:25c8:1946
Canonical Name record that maps an alias domain name to a true or canonical domain name. Often used for subdomains like www or for services hosted by third parties.
Example: www.example.com → example.com
Mail Exchange record specifies the mail servers responsible for accepting email on behalf of a domain. Includes a priority value to determine which mail server to use if multiple servers are available.
Example: example.com → mail.example.com (priority 10)
Name Server record delegates a DNS zone to use the given authoritative name servers. These records tell the internet where to go to find a domain's DNS information.
Example: example.com → ns1.exampledns.com
Text record that stores text information. Commonly used for SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records to prevent email spoofing, DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) for email authentication, and domain ownership verification.
Example: example.com → "v=spf1 include:_spf.example.com ~all"
Start of Authority record contains administrative information about the DNS zone, including the primary name server, the email address of the domain administrator, and various refresh timers.
Example: example.com → ns1.exampledns.com admin.example.com 2023010101 3600 1800 604800 86400
