You can manage your domain's DNS records in the Elestio dashboard. Here are brief descriptions of the different
record types:
A record
It maps a website name, such as 'google.com', to its
corresponding IPv4 address, such as '172.217.164.110', allowing Internet hosts to be reached using human-readable names.
AAAA record
It serves the same purpose as an A record, linking a
hostname to an IP address, but it uses IPv6 addresses instead of IPv4 addresses.
ANAME record
It map an alias hostname directly to an IP address.
ANAME records offer a more efficient and straightforward mapping compared to CNAME records, but they are not as widely
supported by DNS providers.
CNAME record
It used to associate multiple hostnames with a single
canonical hostname, enabling easier management of domain names and allowing multiple hostnames to refer to the same
website or service.
MX record
It used by email systems to route incoming messages to the
correct mail servers for a domain.
SRV record
SRV records are used to map specific network services to their
locations on the network, including the hostname, port number, and priority/weight values. These records are essential
for many network services to function correctly and provide reliable connectivity.
TXT record
It used to store text-based information associated with a domain
name. They are commonly used for email authentication, website encryption, and other security-related purposes.
