Domain name system (DNS) makes the Internet experience easier for everybody, visitors, and websites’ owners. But if you take a look at its “backstage”, it’s a complex show to run. Many different actors are involved. Hosting, domain names, registers, data, IP addresses, DNS records…
DNS records are some of those important components. They are simple and brief messages, instructions for DNS servers to execute specific tasks. The syntax and commands DNS records contain allow servers to know which IP address is associated with a specific domain name, where to direct a query, the way they (servers) should answer a query, the time they should keep it, etc.
