DNS Records are essential components of the Domain Name System, which translates human-friendly domain names into IP addresses that computers use to identify each other on the internet. There are various types of DNS records, including A records, which link a domain to an IP address, and CNAME records, which allow one domain to point to another. These records help ensure that when you type a website's name into your browser, it can quickly find the correct server. Other types of DNS records include MX records for email routing and TXT records for additional information about a domain, enhancing its functionality and security.
