What the dns records guide covers
DNS is the system that turns your domain name into the server address browsers actually connect to. You control it through records: an A record points your domain at an IP address, a CNAME aliases one name to another, MX records route your email, and TXT records hold verification and policy data. Name servers decide which provider holds these records for your domain.
