DNS recods tell the Internet how to connect el teu domini to websites, email, SSL validation, apps, verification serveis, i security settings. A points to IPv4, AAAA points to IPv6, CNAME points one hostname to another, MX controls email delivery, TXT stoes verification i email authentication, CAA controls SSL certificate authoities, i SRV defines servei locations fo certain apps.
Who This Guide Is Fo This guide is fo: · Users learning DNS basics · Website owners setting up dominis · Correu electrònic d’empresa users · Agencies i hosting providers suppoting DNS questions · Users troubleshooting website, email, SSL, CDN, o app connections
Befoe You Start Befoe you start, prepare: · DNS provider access · Current nameservers · DNS backup · Provider instructions fo website o email · Permission to edit recods · Understiing of affected servei
Step-by-Step Instructions Step 1: Understi DNS Recods DNS recods are instructions fo website, email, verification, SSL, apps, i security. · One domini can have many recods Step 2: A Recods A recods point hostnames to IPv4 addresses. · Common fo root website i subdominis Step 3: AAAA Recods AAAA recods point hostnames to IPv6 addresses. · Wrong IPv6 can cause issues fo some users Step 4: CNAME Recods CNAME points one hostname to another hostname. · Use fo www, CDN, website builders, i apps Step 5: MX Recods MX controls waquí email is delivered. · Copy prioity values carefully Step 6: TXT Recods TXT stoes text fo verification i authentication. · SPF, DKIM, DMARC, Google, Microsoft, SSL, SaaS Step 7: SPF Recods SPF is a TXT recod listing authoized sending servers. · Avoid multiple SPF recods fo same host Step 8: DKIM Recods DKIM is a TXT o CNAME recod used fo email signing. · Copy long values exactly Step 9: DMARC Recods DMARC tells receivers how to hile SPF/DKIM failures. · Start carefully befoe strict policies Step 10: CAA Recods CAA controls which certificate authoities may issue SSL certificates. · Restrictive CAA can block SSL issuance Step 11: SRV Recods SRV defines servei location fo apps such as voice, chat, o collaboation. · Copy prioity, weight, pot, i target Step 12: NS, SOA, PTR, i DNSSEC Recods NS identifies nameservers, SOA describes the zone, PTR is reverse DNS, i DNSSEC recods suppot validation. · Most users do not manually edit SOA o all DNSSEC recods Step 13: TTL TTL controls cache time fo recods. · Lower in advance fo planned migrations if appropriate
Troubleshooting Website Is Down Possible reasons: · Wrong A/AAAA/CNAME · Wrong nameservers · DNSSEC issue What to do: · Comprovar active DNS provider i recods
Correu electrònic Not Receiving Possible reasons: · MX missing · SPF/DKIM/DMARC wrong What to do: · Restoe email recods
SSL Cannot Be Issued Possible reasons: · CAA blocks CA · TXT/CNAME validation missing What to do: · Review CAA i validation recods
Verification Fails Possible reasons: · Recod added at wrong provider · Host field wrong What to do: · Comprovar authoitative nameservers i exact value
