sangdukseo 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2005 A Record? I've never heard of an A record before in my life. Could you be more specific? Is this a file in your directory? Or a feature that you're looking for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
serverph 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2005 "A records" are custom DNS records, along with "MX records", needed to allow further customization of your domain services. MX record is short for mail exchange record, an entry in a domain name database that identifies the mail server that is responsible for handling emails for that domain name. The A record, also called the "address record", is the most important part of the DNS record. It is used to link your domain to its corresponding IP Address. Each domain has its own DNS records, and there are other types of DNS records like CNAME, PTR, NS, etc. but you can't usually manage them directly from the control panel.for more computer jargons:http://www.computerhope.com/jargon.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
