Namerecords
Namerecords, in the Domain Name System (DNS), are the individual entries that map domain names to information describing how a domain should be handled on the Internet. They are stored in zone files on authoritative name servers and are queried by resolvers to translate human-readable names into machine-readable data. Each name record includes a name (the domain or subdomain), a type, a time-to-live (TTL), a class (usually IN for Internet), and an RDATA field containing the data for that type.
Common types include A and AAAA for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses; CNAME for an alias to another
TTL values control how long resolvers cache records, affecting update propagation. Shorter TTLs allow quicker changes
Management involves configuring records through a DNS hosting provider or server, monitoring changes, and ensuring consistency
