Now, let me elaborate on that how does it work, when the user puts the domain name in the address bar, that will lead the user to a site which they want to visit, I know you must be wondering how swift it is, but this whole process consists of various steps DNS resolution Process or the DNS lookup,
Suppose you want yourself to be taken to the AccuWeb website, So, Obviously, you type the domain name AccuWebhosting.com and now press enter. keep in mind that you are submitting the DNS request.
Now, your computer will check whether the DNS entry of the domain name is stored locally, which means that the domain name should match the IP address. here, the IP address should be pointing to the domain name.
There are several types of DNS records, but some of them are pretty much important to have a look at, such as,
A Record
AAAA Record
CNAME Record
MX Record
TXT Record
NS Record
SOA Record
PTR Record
SPF Record
