DNS (Domain Name System) translates your website name into an address computers understand. When someone types your website address, DNS points them to the right server.
Why It Matters for Your Business
Proper DNS setup ensures your website loads quickly and reliably. Misconfigured DNS can make your site unreachable or slow, directly impacting customer experience and sales.
Common DNS Records
- A Record: Points your domain to your website's server
- MX Record: Routes your business emails correctly
- CNAME: Creates aliases for subdomains
- TXT: Verifies domain ownership and email security
Best Practices
Keep your DNS provider reliable, use short TTL during migrations, and always have backup configurations documented. Your domain is your digital address—protect it.
