    A: Maps a domain to an IPv4 address

    What Is DNS?

    The Domain Name System (DNS) is the internet's phone book. It translates human-readable domain names like example.com into machine-readable IP addresses like 93.184.216.34.

    Common DNS Record Types

    A

    Maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. The most fundamental DNS record type.

    example.com → 93.184.216.34

    AAAA

    Maps a domain to an IPv6 address. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses for the modern internet.

    example.com → 2606:2800:220:1:248:1893:25c8:1946

    CNAME

    Canonical Name record — creates an alias from one domain to another.

    www.example.com → example.com

    MX

    Mail Exchange record — specifies mail servers responsible for accepting email.

    example.com → mail.example.com (priority 10)

    TXT

    Text records used for domain verification, SPF anti-spam, and DKIM email signing.

    v=spf1 include:example.com ~all

    NS

    Name Server records — identify which DNS servers are authoritative for a domain.

    example.com → ns1.exampledns.com
