CNAME vs A Records

Last Edited: May 14, 2019 11:06 AM

A and CNAME records are for DNS records.

Deferences

  • The A record maps a name to one or more IP addresses when the IP are known and stable.
  • The CNAME record maps a name to another name. It should only be used when there are no other records on that name.
