Domain Name System (DNS)

Address Record [A Record]

The A Record is the most basic and the most important DNS record type. They are used to translate human friendly domain names such as "www.domain.com" into IP-addresses such as 11.22.33.44 (machine friendly numbers).

When you wish to host your domain name, you will be provided with an IP address that needs to be set as an A Record for that particular domain name.
