Common DNS Record Types

• A Record — Maps a domain to an IPv4 address
• AAAA Record — Maps a domain to an IPv6 address
• CNAME Record — Aliases one domain to another
• MX Record — Specifies mail servers for the domain
• TXT Record — Stores text data (SPF, DKIM, verification)
• SRV Record — Service-specific records

Adding a Record

1. Click Add DNS Record
2. Select the record type
3. Enter the name (leave blank for the root domain, or enter "www" for a subdomain)
4. Enter the value/address
5. Set TTL (default 86400 is fine for most records)

Zone Backups

Virtualmin automatically backs up your DNS zone. You can also manually export your zone file from the DNS section.
