DNS record types explained
A DNS lookup asks the domain's authoritative name servers which records it publishes. A and AAAA map a name to an IPv4 or IPv6 address, MX points mail to the right servers, NS lists the name servers, CNAME aliases one name to another, TXT holds verification and SPF/DKIM data, and SOA carries the zone's serial and refresh settings.
About TTL
Each record has a Time To Live in seconds that tells resolvers how long to cache it. Lower TTLs propagate changes faster but add lookup load; higher TTLs are cached longer. If you just changed a record and still see the old value, its TTL has not expired yet.
