This tells browsers exactly where to find your website on the internet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Example:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you set an A record for <code>yourwebsite.com<\/code> to <code>123.45.67.89<\/code>, anyone who visits that domain will be sent to the server at that IP address.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When to use:<\/strong><br \/>\nUse A records to point your main domain or subdomains directly to a web server\u2019s IP address.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>2. <strong>CNAME Records (Canonical Name Records)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What they do:<\/strong><br \/>\nA <strong>CNAME record<\/strong> points a domain or subdomain to another domain name, instead of an IP address. It\u2019s like saying, \u201cThis domain is really just an alias for another domain.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Example:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you want <code>blog.yourwebsite.com<\/code> to show your WordPress-hosted blog, you might set a CNAME for <code>blog<\/code> pointing to <code>yourblog.wordpress.com<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When to use:<\/strong><br \/>\nUse CNAME records to set up subdomains (like <code>www<\/code>, <code>blog<\/code>, or <code>shop<\/code>) that should follow another domain\u2019s DNS settings.<br \/>\n<strong>Note:<\/strong> You cannot use a CNAME for your root domain (e.g., <code>yourwebsite.com<\/code>), only for subdomains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>3. <strong>MX Records (Mail Exchange Records)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What they do:<\/strong><br \/>\nAn <strong>MX record<\/strong> tells the internet where to deliver email sent to your domain (like <code>info@yourwebsite.com<\/code>). It assigns your domain\u2019s email traffic to a specific mail server.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Example:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you use Google Workspace for email, you\u2019ll set MX records that point to Google\u2019s mail servers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When to use:<\/strong><br \/>\nUse MX records to direct email for your domain to the right provider.<br \/>\nYou can have multiple MX records with different priorities for backup mail servers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>In a Nutshell:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A Record:<\/strong><br \/>\nConnects a domain or subdomain to an IP address (for your website).<\/li>\n<li><strong>CNAME Record:<\/strong><br \/>\nConnects a subdomain to another domain name (for aliases or redirects).<\/li>\n<li><strong>MX Record:<\/strong><br \/>\nTells email where to go (for your domain\u2019s email addresses).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
