General information about DNS records
Help on record types
| A | is used to point records to IPv4 addresses. |
| AAAA | is used to point records to IPv6 addresses. |
| ALIAS | fetches AAAA and A records from another domain and inserts them here. This works similarly to a CNAME but can be used at the domain apex and together with other records such as TXT. Please note that MyWebspace servers in Austria are used to resolve the records, which may affect geography-based routing. The domain is interpreted as it is and, unlike a CNAME, does not need to end with a dot. |
| CNAME | is used to point a record to another record. Note that the data must end with a dot (.) to point to another domain. |
| MX | is used to specify a mail server for the domain. The record data must be in the format \priority domainname\. Example: \20 mail.my-webspace.at.\. Note that the data must end with a dot (.) to point to another domain. |
| NS | is used to point to another name server. |
| TXT | is used to add arbitrary text to the DNS system. Google and other providers use this as a method to verify domain ownership. |
