The main records

DNS translates a domain name into information machines can use.

  • A and AAAA: IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the server.
  • CNAME: alias to another name.
  • MX: servers receiving the domain’s email.
  • TXT: verifications and email sending rules (SPF, DKIM, DMARC).
  • NS: authoritative name servers of the domain.
  • CAA: authorities allowed to issue certificates.

One DNS change can break everything

A mistake in the DNS zone makes a website or mailbox unreachable, and an unauthorised change can signal a hijack. MoniProbe can watch a record and alert you when it changes.
