Example DNS Records
CNAME Record
Use CNAME records for subdomains.Example
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | app | cname.antryk.com |

A Record
Use A records for apex/root domains.Example
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 76.76.xxx.xxx |
Supported For
ANAME Record
ANAME records help map root domains to redirect infrastructure.Example
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| ANAME | @ | redirect.antryk.com |
