Frequently Asked Questions
What is DNS?
DNS (Domain Name System) is the internet's phone book that translates domain names like example.com into IP addresses that computers use to communicate.
What are DNS record types?
Common DNS record types include A (IPv4 address), AAAA (IPv6 address), MX (mail servers), CNAME (alias), NS (name servers), and TXT (text data like SPF/verification).
What is an A record?
An A record maps a domain name to an IPv4 address (e.g., 192.0.2.1). It's the most basic DNS record that points your domain to your server.
What is an MX record?
MX (Mail Exchange) records specify which mail servers handle email for a domain. Each record has a priority value — lower numbers have higher priority.
How long do DNS changes take to propagate?
DNS changes typically propagate within 1-48 hours, though most updates are visible within a few minutes to a few hours depending on TTL settings.
What is a CNAME record?
CNAME (Canonical Name) creates an alias from one domain to another. For example, blog.example.com can point to example.com via CNAME.
What are TXT records used for?
TXT records store text data and are commonly used for domain verification, SPF (email security), DKIM, DMARC, and other authentication purposes.
