Understanding DNS Records
The DNS (Domain Name System) lookup process is how the internet translates human-readable domain names (like techlomedia.in) into machine-readable IP addresses. DNS records are the instructions stored on authoritative DNS servers that provide information about a domain.
This tool fetches several critical record types, allowing you to debug configuration issues or confirm recent DNS changes.
Key DNS Record Types:
- A Record: The most basic record, it points a domain name to an IPv4 address. (e.g., `example.com` to `93.184.216.34`).
- AAAA Record: Points a domain name to an IPv6 address.
- MX Record: Mail Exchange record, specifies the mail servers responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain name.
- NS Record: Name Server record, delegates the domain to specific DNS servers (shows where the domain's DNS is hosted).
- TXT Record: Text record, often used for verification (e.g., Google or Microsoft domain ownership) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records for email security.
- CNAME Record: Canonical Name record, points a domain name to another domain name (e.g., `www.example.com` to `example.com`).
- SOA Record: Start of Authority record, contains administrative information about the zone, including the primary name server and the email address of the domain administrator.
