DNS A Records and CNAME Records in Practice #Root #By Sayed Ahmed

Zone File Records

The information as given below in a table are from a real domain and hosting.

I just replaced the actual domain name with sahmed.com

The domain is originally purchased at godaddy.com, and I created a hosting account for that domain (a real hosting account – not an add-on domain) under www.onlineservicescloud.com (i.e. I could act as hosting reseller).

 

Note:

sahmed.com uses an A record

 

www.sahmed.com uses a CNAME record

mail.sahmed.com uses a CNAME record

ftp.sahmed.com uses a CNAME record

 

all other sub-domains used A records

All these were created automatically as soon as I creating hosting account for the domain (I used WHM to create the hosting account)

Yes, I did not mention the real IP address here.

 

A Record: Returns a 32-bit IPv4 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host

CNAME Record: Alias of one name to another: the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name

 

At GoDaddy, I provided NS1.ONLINESERVICESCLOUD.COM and NS2.ONLINESERVICESCLOUD.COM as the DNS servers. Yes, the hosting account is created under onlineservicescloud.com.

At GoDaddy domain forwarding is turned off. At GoDaddy 0 Sub-domain is forwarded.
