Every domain's DNS zone is a set of records that tell the internet where to send traffic. These are the types you will use most:

  • A — points a hostname to an IPv4 address.
  • AAAA — the same, for IPv6.
  • CNAME — an alias from one hostname to another (for example, www to your root domain).
  • MX — mail exchanger; tells sending servers where your email is received.
  • TXT — free-form text, used for SPF, DKIM and domain verification.
  • NS — delegates the zone to a set of nameservers.
  • SRV — service locator with port and priority, used by VoIP and messaging.
  • CAA — restricts which certificate authorities may issue SSL certificates for the domain.

You can manage all of these for domains registered with Impreza from the client area under Domains → Manage DNS. Changes usually propagate within minutes but can take up to 24–48 hours depending on the record's TTL.
