Type of DNS Record 

Referring to Step 4, there are few records that you will be able to add :

1. A record – The ‘A’ stands for ‘address’. This is the most fundamental type of DNS record, as it indicates the IP address of a given domain.

2. AAAA record – Similar to A record, difference lies in that A records is used to resolve a hostname which corresponds to an IPv4 address, while AAAA records are used to resolve a domain name which corresponds to an IPv6 address.

3. CNAME record – a CNAME record can map the web address www.example.com to the actual web site for the domain example.com.

–         Example 1: CName from subdomain to parent domain

–         Example 2: CNAME from subdomain to subdomain

Name type value

———————————————

Old.example.com. CNAME new.example NAME TYPE VALUE

•       www.example.com. CNAME example.com.
•       Example.com A 192.162.100.100

   .com.new.example.com A 192.162.100.101

4. MX record – In simple DNS terms, an MX record is used to tell the world which mail servers accept incoming mail for your domain and where emails (sent to your domain) should be routed to. If your MX records are not pointed to the correct location, you will not receive any email. You can add multiple MX records.

5. NS record – Also known as Nameserver record, by default your NS has been set in our portal as below:

             NS1: ns-1510.ipxcdn.com

             NS2: ns-2379.ipxcdn.com

Due to this setting, you are able to manage your DNS record via portal. It is recommended to not amend anything for the NS record.

6. TXT record – TXT record is a type of Domain Name System (DNS) record that contains text information for sources outside of your domain. You can use TXT records for various purposes:

•       TXT records to verify domain ownership
•       Use TXT records to ensure email security such as SPF records, DKIM records, DMARC records

7. ALIAS record – Like CNAME, it also maps a hostname to another hostname. However, the ALIAS Record makes it possible to have other DNS records on the same hostname, while CNAME does not. This makes it possible to apply ALIAS at the root domain (DNS zone apex), which is not allowed for CNAME.
