DNS

Sitecheck Team

The Domain Name System maps human-readable domain names to IP addresses and other records.

DNS (Domain Name System) is the address book of the internet. It resolves names like example.com to addresses and provides other records (MX, TXT, CAA) that affect email, security, and delivery.

Common records:

  • A / AAAA: IP addresses
  • CNAME: alias records
  • MX: mail exchange
  • TXT: arbitrary text (SPF/DKIM/DMARC)

Keeping DNS correct ensures email deliverability, security, and availability.
