The most common records
| Type | What it does | Example value |
|---|---|---|
| A | Points the name to an IPv4 address, that is, the server the website is on. | 203.0.113.10 |
| AAAA | The same as A, but for an IPv6 address. | 2001:db8::10 |
| CNAME | Makes the name an alias for another name. Anyone who looks up the name gets the answer for the other name. | hosting.example.com |
| MX | Says where email for the domain should be delivered. If you have several, the one with the lowest priority is used first. | Priority 10, points to mail.example.no |
| TXT | Free text. Used for SPF, DKIM and DMARC for email, among other things, and when a service wants you to prove that you own the domain. | v=spf1 include:example.com -all |
The panel also supports SRV, NS, CAA, NAPTR, HTTPS, SVCB, TLSA and SSHFP. Use them when you have been given specific values by a provider. When you choose a type in the form, a short explanation appears below the type selector.
The records you need for email with us are listed under Email.
