Manage DNS

Use @ to create the record at the root of the domain or enter a hostname to create it elsewhere. A records are for IPv4 addresses only and tell a request where your domain should direct to.

A quick explantion of all the records:

A Record (Address Record)

  • Maps a domain name to an IPv4 address.

AAAA Record (IPv6 Address Record)

  • An AAAA (pronounced “quad-A”) record in DNS (Domain Name System) is used to map a domain name to an IPv6 address. The value of an AAAA record is always an IPv6 address.

CNAME Record (Canonical Name Record)

  • Aliases one domain name to another. Useful for pointing multiple domain names to the same site.

MX Record (Mail Exchange Record)

  • Directs email to a mail server. Defines the mail servers for a domain.

TXT Record (Text Record)

  • Holds arbitrary text data, often used for email validation and domain verification.

NS Record (Name Server Record)

  • Indicates the authoritative name servers for a domain.

SRV Record (Service Record)

  • Specifies a host and port for specific services, such as VoIP or messaging services.

PTR Record (Pointer Record)

  • Maps an IP address to a domain name (reverse DNS lookup).

SOA Record (Start of Authority Record)

  • Provides information about the DNS zone, including the primary name server, email of the domain admin, and various timers.

CAA Record (Certification Authority Authorization Record)

  • Specifies which certificate authorities are allowed to issue certificates for the domain.
