Understanding DNS Records

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the internet. It translates human-readable domain names (like mailster.co.in) to machine-readable IP addresses.

Common Record Types:

  • A Record: Points a domain to an IPv4 address. Essential for website hosting.
  • MX Record: Mail Exchange record. Directs email to a mail server.
  • TXT Record: Text record. Often used for email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and domain verification.
  • CNAME Record: Canonical Name. Aliases one domain name to another.
  • NS Record: Name Server record. Determines which servers will communicate DNS information for a domain.
