What is DNS?
A DNS management system allows you to control your domain name's website and email settings. When a visitor types your domain into a search engine, it's the DNS settings that determine which company's server your domain should access. It consists of several elements, each managing different aspects of your domain. Therefore, we offer a brief description of each (our representative will assist you if needed):
| DNS Records | Description |
| Nameserver | A Nameserver directs your domain to the company that manages your DNS settings. Typically, this is the company where you registered your domain. |
| Zone File | Zone files store your domain's settings. Your domain's Zone files are then stored on the company's nameserver. |
| A Record |
An A record points your domain to an individual server using an IP address. For example, an IP address might be 217.147.225.26.
Every domain has a primary A record – "@" – which controls how the domain behaves when a visitor types it into a search engine.
A records are also used to redirect subdomains (e.g., subdomain.namespace.ge) to a server's IP address. |
| CNAME |
A CNAME redirects your subdomain to another server using a server name, for instance, server1.namespace.ge.
A domain can have multiple CNAMEs. Unlike A records, CNAMEs do not use IP addresses. |
| MX Record |
An MX record directs your domain to the company providing your email service (e.g., info@domain.ge, etc.).
The DNS service is only available to domain owners registered with namespace.ge. |
The DNS service is available only to domain owners registered under namespace.ge.
