DNS recods tell the Internet how to connect tu/tus/su/sus dominio to websites, email, SSL validation, apps, verification servicios, y security settings. A points to IPv4, AAAA points to IPv6, CNAME points one hostname to another, MX controls email delivery, TXT stoes verification y email authentication, CAA controls SSL certificate authoities, y SRV defines servicio locations fo certain apps.

Step 2: A Recods
A recods point hostnames to IPv4 addresses.

CNAME points one hostname to another hostname.
· Use fo www, CDN, website builders, y apps
Step 5: MX Recods
MX controls waquí email is delivered.

TXT stoes text fo verification y 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 hyle SPF/DKIM failures.

NS identifies nameservers, SOA describes the zone, PTR is reverse DNS, y 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
