Records Explained: A, CNAME, SRV and MX

• A-records: Address (A) records associates a host name with a numeric IP address. You must put a dot after the host name, but not after the IP.
• CNAME-records: CNAME allows a machine to be recognised by one or more host names. There should always be an A record first and it is known as a canonical, or official name. For example: yourdomain.com. A 192.168.0.1. When using CNAME you can point other host names to the canonical (A record) address. For example: ftp.yourdoman.com. CNAME yourdomain.com. 
• SRV RECORDS: SRV records allow a service to point to a specific address plus port. 
• MX RECORDS: Services such as Office365 or Google apps for work require MX changes to be made for the email to work. This change allows mail destined for your domain to be directed to their server.
