Website DNS Records – Overview & Importance

DNS (Domain Name System) records are essential components of your website’s infrastructure that direct internet traffic to the correct servers for web hosting, email, security, and other services. Common DNS record types include A records (pointing your domain to your website server), MX records (handling email delivery), CNAME records (used for aliases and subdomains), TXT records (used for verification and security such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC), and more.

Accurate and optimized DNS configurations ensure that your website loads properly, emails are delivered securely, and third-party integrations (such as marketing platforms, SSL certificates, or cloud services) function reliably.

This service is included free with Website Hosting, and DNS records are configured and adjusted as needed to maintain optimal performance, compatibility, and security in accordance with current web standards. Configuration and management are handled as part of our ongoing support, with updates billed only when extensive custom adjustments are required.
