DNS: What is a

DNS stands for domain name system

DNS is an Internet service that translates a domain name into IP addresses.

This query is performed by a Domain Name Server (DNS server) or servers nearby that have been assigned responsibility for that hostname. You can think of a DNS server as a phone book for the internet.

A DNS server maintains a directory of domain names and translates them to IPs.

Example of Common DNS Records

AAAA: IPV6 address record.
CNAME: Canonical name, used for making a domain alias.
NS: Name server, indicates which name server is authoritative for the domain.
MX: Mail exchange, a list of mail exchange servers used for the domain.
TXT: Administrator record use for domain facts and verifications.
SRV: Service, defines the TCP service the domain operates on.
PTR: Pointer record, maps an IPv4 address to CNAME.
SOA: State of authority, stores information about when domain was updated.
