Managing Essential DNS Records (A, CNAME, MX, TXT, SPF, DKIM)

Proper DNS configuration ensures reliable website accessibility and email deliverability.

A Record: Maps your domain name to an IPv4 address (e.g. @ -> 185.x.x.x).

CNAME: Alias pointing to another canonical hostname (e.g. www -> @).

MX Record: Routes email to your mail server (e.g. Priority 10 -> mail.yourdomain.com).

SPF (TXT): Authorizes mail servers to send email on behalf of your domain: v=spf1 mx a include:relay.veltis.cloud ~all

DMARC (TXT): Defines policy for failed authentications under _dmarc.yourdomain.com: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:[email protected]
