Recently, someone asked me what I can only describe as a “deep in the weeds” question. Especially considering that it was coming from someone who is a self-described “tech avoider.”

The question – “What are DNS records?”

I had to admit the truth.

Although I know what they are meant to do and I know how to add/change/edit them when needed-I really didn’t have a very specific answer.

I should add here that this person that I was speaking to was very appreciative that I kept it to a couple of sentences.

And so was I!

But then, down the rabbit hole I went determined to get the very specific answer to the question should I ever be asked again.

Here is a deep “in the weeds” answer to the question- “What are DNS records?”

There are several types of DNS (Domain Name System) records, each serving different purposes. This episode explains the basics behind the initials!
