| DNS Record Types | |
| A | An A record points a hostname to the IPv4 address of the server. |
| AAAA | An AAAA record points a hostname to the IPv6 address of the server. |
| CNAME | A CNAME record is a hostname which mirrors another hostname and will resolve to the same destination. |
| TXT | A TXT record includes human readable content to provide additional information. |
| SPF | A SPF record lists all the servers authorised to send emails from your domain. This record kind is deprecated in favour of TXT. |
| SRV | An SRV record specifies a host and port for specific services such as voice over IP (VoIP), instant messaging etc. |
| NS | An NS record authorises a DNS server for your domain or subdomain. |
| MX | A MX record communicates to other mail servers where the mail server for your domain can be found. |
| PTR | A PTR record specifies the domain name associated with a specific IP address. It's the opposite of an A record, and it's used in reverse DNS lookup. |
