What is an A Record imprimir

  • 1

 A RECORDS

  • "A" records (also known as host records) are the central records of DNS.
  • These records link a domain, or subdomain, to an IP address.
  • An A record tells a DNS server what specific IP address to map for a host name.
  • It is the most common type of DNS record.
  • An A record is typically used to direct your domain name, for examaple - www.yourdomainname.com - to a web server.
  • A records and IP addresses do not necessarily match on a one-to-one basis.
  • Many A records correspond to a single IP address, where one machine can serve many web sites. Alternatively, a single A record may correspond to many IP addresses. This can facilitate fault tolerance and load distribution, and allows a site to move its physical location.
