Domain record resources are used to set or retrieve information about the individual DNS records configured for a domain. This allows you to build and manage DNS zone files by adding and modifying individual records for a domain. The [DigitalOcean DNS management interface](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/) allows you to configure the following DNS records: Name | Description | ------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A | This record type is used to map an IPv4 address to a hostname. | AAAA | This record type is used to map an IPv6 address to a hostname. | CAA | As specified in RFC-6844, this record type can be used to restrict which certificate authorities are permitted to issue certificates for a domain. | CNAME | This record type defines an alias for your canonical hostname (the one defined by an A or AAAA record). | MX | This record type is used to define the mail exchanges used for the domain. | NS | This record type defines the name servers that are used for this zone. | TXT | This record type is used to associate a string of text with a hostname, primarily used for verification. | SRV | This record type specifies the location (hostname and port number) of servers for specific services. | SOA | This record type defines administrative information about the zone. Can only have ttl changed, cannot be deleted |
