We accommodate the following DNS record types:
- A - IPv4 Address Record: Maps a domain name to its IPv4 address. It is one of the most commonly used record types.
- AAAA - IPv6 Address Record: Similar to an A record, but maps a domain name to its IPv6 address.
- CNAME - Canonical Name Record: Allows a domain or subdomain to be aliased to another domain name. It's used to redirect one domain to another.
- TXT - Text Record: Holds text-based information. It can serve various purposes, like domain ownership verification, sender policy framework (SPF) for email, and other services.
- MX - Mail Exchange Record: Directs email to a specified mail server based on the recipient's address. It prioritizes where email should be delivered using a preference number.
- SRV - Service Record: Specifies information about services available in a domain, like where an XMPP server or a SIP server is located. It is essential for certain applications and services to function.
- CAA - Certification Authority Authorization: Specifies which certificate authorities (CAs) are allowed to issue certificates for a domain. It's a security feature to prevent unauthorized issuance.
- PTR - Pointer Record: Used primarily for reverse DNS lookups. It maps an IP address to a domain name, essentially the opposite of an A or AAAA record.
- NS - Name Server Record: Specifies the authoritative name servers for a domain. It delegates a domain or subdomain to use a specific set of name servers.
