📘 Common DNS Records
A Record – Points a domain or subdomain to an IP address.
CNAME Record – Creates an alias pointing to another domain (which has an A record).
MX Record – Specifies which server handles your email.
SPF (TXT Record) – Defines which servers are allowed to send email for your domain (helps prevent spam).
TXT Record – Often used for domain verification or additional settings.
✅ Done!
You now know how to manage your DNS settings in cPanel. Please note: changes can take up to 24–48 hours to propagate across the internet.
