Know your record types

Click a type to see what it does.

A
Address record

Points a hostname to an IPv4 address. The most fundamental record — it is how browsers find your web server.

yourbrand.com. 3600 IN A 93.184.216.34
AAAA
IPv6 address record

The IPv6 equivalent of an A record, pointing a hostname to a 128-bit IPv6 address.

yourbrand.com. 3600 IN AAAA 2606:2800:220:1::1946
CNAME
Canonical name

Aliases one hostname to another. Useful for pointing www or subdomains at a primary host without duplicating IPs.

www.yourbrand.com. 3600 IN CNAME yourbrand.com.
MX
Mail exchanger

Tells the world which servers accept email for your domain, with priority ordering for failover.

yourbrand.com. 7200 IN MX 10 mx1.mileshost.com.
TXT
Text record

Free-form text used for SPF, DKIM, DMARC and domain-ownership verification.

yourbrand.com. 300 IN TXT "v=spf1 include:_spf.mileshost.com ~all"
NS
Nameserver record

Delegates a domain to the nameservers that hold its zone. Change these to move DNS providers.

yourbrand.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.mileshost.com.
SOA
Start of authority

Zone metadata: the primary nameserver, admin contact and serial number that tracks changes.

yourbrand.com. IN SOA ns1.mileshost.com. admin.yourbrand.com. 2026073101 …
SRV
Service record

Maps a specific service and port (like SIP or XMPP) to a target host, with priority and weight.

_sip._tcp.yourbrand.com. IN SRV 10 60 5060 sip.yourbrand.com.
