Official Post

I got several times the question what DNS record type is used for what and so I made a table.

Type	Used for	Example
A	maps a domain name to an IPv4 address	iseet.fans → 87.118.116.40
AAAA	maps a domain name to an IPv6 address	Google DNS → 2001:4860:4860::8888
CNAME	maps an alias name to a canonical domain name	http://www.iseet.fans → iseet.fans
MX	specifies mail exchange servers for a domain	mx.iseet.fans
NS	indicates DNS servers for a domain	iseet.fans NS ns1.iseet.fans
PTR	shows reverse DNS lookup info for an IP address	87.118.116.40 → iseet.fans
TXT	allows admins to add any text info for verification	SPF entry example → v=spf1 +a +mx -all
SRV	specifies info about available services in a domain	SIP server host/port info
SOA	stores essential domain info	primary domain server admin email domain serial
CAA	specifies which certificate authorities are allowed to issue certificates for domain
