What are all the DNS records supported in Zoho Domains?
Below DNS records are supported in Zoho Domains.
AName
An Alias or ANAME record is a type of DNS record that allows you to point a domain or subdomain to another domain name instead of an IP address. This is particularly useful for scenarios where you want to direct traffic to a dynamic IP address or when you want to simplify DNS management.
A Record (Address Record)
An A record maps a domain name (e.g., www.example.com) to an IPv4 address (e.g., 192.168.1.1). It is commonly used to point a domain or subdomain to the IP address of a web server, allowing users to access a website by typing the domain name.
AAAA Record (IPv6 Address Record)
The AAAA record maps a domain name to an IPv6 address (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334), which is used for websites and services that operate over the newer IPv6 internet addressing system.
CNAME Record (Canonical Name Record)
A CNAME record allows one domain or subdomain to point to another domain name (e.g., blog.example.com → example.wordpress.com). This is typically used to alias one domain to another, such as linking www.example.com to example.com, or for services like hosted blogs.
MX Record (Mail Exchange Record)
MX records direct email traffic to the mail servers responsible for handling email for a domain (e.g., mail.example.com). They are essential for configuring email services and ensuring email is routed to the correct mail server.
TXT Record (Text Record)
A TXT record allows domain owners to add text data to a DNS record. This is often used for domain verification purposes or to configure email security protocols like SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail).
SRV Record (Service Record)
An SRV record specifies a server and port for a particular service within a domain, such as VoIP or instant messaging services. It helps direct traffic to the right service and server, including details like the protocol and port number.
Each plays a critical role in managing various services like website hosting, email, security, and more. Let us know if you need any further clarification.
