DNS records are like entries in the phonebook, and they serve different purposes:
1. *A Record (Address Record)*: It links a domain to an IPv4 address.
2. *AAAA Record*: Similar to the A record but for IPv6 addresses.
3. *CNAME (Canonical Name)*: It’s an alias that points one domain to another.
4. *MX (Mail Exchanger) Record*: Specifies the mail server responsible for receiving email.
5. *TXT Record*: Contains text information, often used for SPF (Sender Policy Framework)
for email.
6. *NS (Name Server) Record*: Identifies the authoritative name servers for a domain.
7. *SOA (Start of Authority) Record*: Contains administrative information about the domain.
8. *PTR (Pointer) Record*: Used for reverse DNS lookups, linking an IP to a domain name.
