As web developers, DNS is one of the least understood aspects of the internet. It's also one of the most important, as it's the glue that links you...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Top tip, if you transfer your domain, remember to set your dns settings on your new provider... 🤦♂️(speaking from personal experience)
Also I found using
dig www.yoursite.coma useful tool to see where domains redirect to.Nice tip!
Since IPv4 is considered "historic" for a while now, there is another record type, which is becoming more and more important:
AAAA Records are much like A Records, but instead of using IPv4-Addresses, they map the name to an IPv6 Address.
Just for some comparison of address space between IPv6 and IPv4
Agreed! This is going to be more and more important moving forward!
Amazing article and such an important subject that is often looked past. Also important to do a DNS Leak test!
Just the title reminded me of twitter.com/ryan_sb/status/7634543... :)
This is great! Would love to see a follow up with the other record types.
