DNS Records for Newbies - How To Manage Website Records

[@SDavis-js6sd]

I've searched high and low for a simple and practical explanation of DNS records use, from an agency perspective. Your video was clear and concise, and the examples helped with comprehension.

[@laurapamelaesteban7518]

I'm here to learn more about DNS, specifically, about A records because I felt so bullied at work for not understanding the backend of website development. Fairly new with this and you have helped me understand these terms so easily. Thank you very much for the help.

[@stevegreig8324]

That was very useful. Thanks! One really basic question I am still struggling with is this. Do you have to have a stable IP address before you can set up the DNS records to point to your site. In AWS I start and stop my EC2 instance to save money. Every time I start it I get a new IP address.

[@stepanhrdy6186]

@@stevegreig8324 No, you just need to update the DNS record every time it changes (otherwise it would direct visitors to the old IP).

[@csexecutiveservices]

​@@stevegreig8324 You can also use something like no IP - which will (install client on ec2 instance) automatically check and update the IP info for ec2-your-instance, or an AWS elastic IP, which stays stable to manage that.

This is a great treatise on DNS. One thing to mention right off the bat is that DNS stands for "Domain Name Service" and refers to the network of servers that exclusively hand out these records when queried. :)

[@anainmazatlan]

Thank you so very much for this very informative and clearly presented explanation of DNS records. It’s the first time someone has actually clearly explained what an NS is versus the DNS records. For a long time I thought it was the same thing!

[@francischege2766]

I had been stuck on something for a few hours this video has been of great help. Thank You Very Much.

I am having trouble assessing my website inside my domain. My website is the same name as my domain. I did create an A record with the IP of my website, but I am still not able to access my website inside my place of business. Outside my network, I have no trouble with this issue? Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

[@ahmedkhater3067]

can i manage dns from bluehost if i changed name server to it i dont know i think i have to change ns first so i need to know whats happing next. is bluehost will detect the old dns record or i have to add

[@mohammedjanabi3783]

Thank you very much. It's so useful. If you don't mind, I have some questions: Will there be any email loss when moving the domain to a new registrar without changing DNS records? They say that changing email DNS records will take up to 24 hours to take effect. During that time will there be any email loss? Will there be a time that emails will not get into the old and new destinations.

[@OffsproutTV]

There should not be any downtime as long as you create the DNS records in your new registrar. Many registrars will also give you the option of copying over your existing DNS records so that the process is seamless. You might also want to consider using a service like Cloudflare to host your DNS rather than hosting them with your registrar.

[@bluex217]

One question I have is: What is the point of an MX record for an email server if, let's say, you have a NODE JS backend which is using AWS SES to send emails? In that case , you have emailing embedded into the code itself. What need would you have for an MX or an email server in this case? Hope this question makes sense..the hardest thing for me with these networking topics is really correlating my programming knowledge to the context of networking, when I haven't studied to become a networker

[@shazadtify]

Thank you. Nicely explained.

Hello sir.. I have mistakenly removed AAA text from DNS record.. Will it affect my website? Plzz reply me Sir

[@OffsproutTV]

Hey, yes! A records need to be pointing to your server's IP address. You can ask your hosting company for your IP address.

[@gershdavis9815]

Thanks for the excellent presentation . I have one question if we did end up with the 404 page not found due to the scenario you warned against ,is there a solution ,I'm talking about a domain name that i wished to forward to a site by changing the A records ,it seems i operated too fast and now get the 404 page when I click my domain name. Thanks

I know that website server setup is required to build website for global communication. But lot of developers are using 'filezilla software' and 'other software' for website development. But I want 'website server setup' by only computer OS. For example : 'Map networking drive' in My computer section for edit the website. I have unlimited Linux webhosting plan. Can advice how to setup website server without command OR without 'Filezila'?
