Understanding DNS Zones
The main aim of your name servers is to find the server and the appropriate DNS place to be able to get the following information:
- A Record - Points-> your domain name or subdomain to an IP associated with your account (e.g. mydomain.com -> IP address).
- CNAME Record - Points-> your domain name or sudomain to another domain (e.g. www.domain.com -> sector.com).
- MX Record - Email management where your e-mails are to be sent. If you want your email organised on another server, this is what you will need to modify (e.g. domain.com -> server.ext).
- NS Record - must coordinate with the nameservers you are using
