Manage DNS records

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities.

A DNS record is the basic data element in the domain name system. Each record has a type (A, MX, etc.), an expiration time limit, a class, and type-specific data.
