A and AAAA

The A stands for Address and this is the most fundamental type of DNS record. It indicates the IP address of a given domain.
HOST input field is optional, enter a subdomain or leave it empty if needed.

AAAA records match a domain name to an IPv6 address. They are exactly like DNS A records, except that they store a domain's IPv6 instead of its IPv4 address.

CAA and CNAME

CAA stands for Certification Authority Authorization. It is used to specify which certificate authorities (CAs) are allowed to issue certificates for a domain name.

A Canonical NAME record (CNAME), can be used to create an alias from one domain to another domain name.

MX record

Mail eXchange indicates the mail server responsible for rooting e-mails on behalf of a domain name.

NS record

Stands for Name Server. Basically, NS records tell the Internet where to go to find out a domain's IP address. It shows which server contains the current DNS records.

SRV, TLSA and TXT

Service (SRV) record specifies a host and port for services such as VoIP, XMPP, SIP.

Transport Layer Security Authentication is a widely adopted security protocol designed to facilitate data security for communications over the Internet.

TeXT record can be used to associate arbitrary text with a host or other name, such as human readable information about a server, network, data center, or other accounting information. It is also possible to put machine-readable data into TXT records.
