What are A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, SRV and TXT (SPF) records?
We currently only support A, MX, CNAME, and TXT (SPF) resource records. An A record is the most common type of DNS resource record. It tells a DNS server what IP address to map a host name to. With an A record, you can set www.yourname.com to point a specific IP address. AAAA is the IPv6 version of an A record. IPv6 addresses are normally written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, where each group is separated by a colon. A mail exchanger (MX) is a server setup to accept mail for your domain name and either holds it for delivering to your users or passes it to another mail server. To receive internet mail, your mail server should be SMTP compliant and run on port 25. For UNIX variants, two popular servers are qmail and sendmail. The MX record tells other mail servers where mail for your domain should go. The record should point to an A record. MX records have what are called “Preference Settings.” Preference settings tell other mail servers which server to try to deliver mail
