  2. DNS DKIM A DNS DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) record is a type of DNS record used for email authentication. It allows the sender to associate a domain name with an email message, enabling the recipient's mail server to verify that the message was indeed sent by the authorized sender and hasn't been tampered with during transit. What is DKIM? DKIM is an email security standard that uses cryptographic signatures to verify the authenticity of the email sender and the integrity of the message. A DKIM signature is added to the header of an outgoing email, and the recipient’s mail server can check this signature by looking up the corresponding public key in the DNS records of the sender's domain. How Does DKIM Work? Email Signing (Sender's Side): The email server signs the email with a private key associated with a domain (e.g., example.com). The DKIM signature is added to the email header. DNS Lookup (Receiver's Side): The recipient's mail server queries the sender’s domain for the corresponding DKIM public key in the DNS records (specifically, the DKIM TXT record). The recipient verifies the DKIM signature using the public key, ensuring that the email was not tampered with and that it came from the claimed domain. DKIM DNS Record Format: A DKIM DNS record is a TXT record that contains the public key for DKIM verification. It is structured like this: plaintext Copy code Host: selector._domainkey.example.com Type: TXT Value: v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqh...<public_key> Host: This is the selector, which is a string identifying the DKIM key (e.g., selector._domainkey.example.com). The selector is used to distinguish multiple keys for the same domain. Type: Always TXT because DKIM records are stored as text in DNS. Value: Contains information about the DKIM version (v=DKIM1), the key type (k=rsa), and the public key (p=<public_key>). Example DKIM Record: plaintext Copy code Host: default._domainkey.example.com Type: TXT Value: v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqh...<public_key> default is the selector. _domainkey is a standard label to indicate it's a DKIM record. example.com is the domain. The p= part is the public key used for verification. When to Use DKIM: Prevent Email Spoofing: DKIM helps protect against malicious actors impersonating your domain. Improve Email Deliverability: Some email providers check DKIM before accepting or delivering emails. Proper DKIM records can improve your email’s chances of not being marked as spam. Compliance: Many email services and anti-spam systems require DKIM for verification. How to Set Up DKIM in ISPConfig: Generate DKIM Keys: You will need to generate a public/private key pair. This is often done via your mail server software (e.g., Postfix, Exim, or Mailgun). You can use tools like OpenDKIM to generate the key pair. Add the DKIM TXT Record: Log in to ISPConfig and go to DNS Zones. Select the domain (example.com). Add a new TXT Record with: Hostname: selector._domainkey (replace selector with the name of your key selector, e.g., default) Type: TXT Value: v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqh...<public_key> (use the public key generated earlier). Configure Your Mail Server: Make sure your mail server (Postfix, Exim, etc.) is configured to sign outgoing emails with the corresponding private key. How to Verify DKIM Records: Using dig: bash Copy code dig TXT selector._domainkey.example.com Using Email Tools: You can send a test email to a service like DKIMValidator or Mail-tester, which checks your DKIM records for you. Important Notes: Multiple DKIM Keys: You can have different selectors for different keys (e.g., default._domainkey for the current key and old._domainkey for a previous key). Key Rotation: Periodically rotate your DKIM keys for security.
  3. DNS DNAME A DNS DNAME (Delegation Name) record is a less commonly used type of DNS record that allows for the redirection of an entire subtree of a domain to another domain. It’s similar to a CNAME record, but it can apply to multiple subdomains under the delegated domain rather than just a single alias. How a DNAME Record Works: A DNAME record allows you to redirect all subdomains of a domain to another domain, making it simpler to delegate large sections of a domain space. For example, if you create a DNAME record for sub.example.com pointing to otherdomain.com, then all subdomains under sub.example.com will automatically be redirected to otherdomain.com. Example: Record Type: DNAME Hostname: sub.example.com Value: otherdomain.com ✅ This would cause the following mappings: foo.sub.example.com → foo.otherdomain.com bar.sub.example.com → bar.otherdomain.com This redirection applies to all subdomains under sub.example.com. DNAME vs. CNAME Records: FeatureCNAME RecordDNAME Record ScopeMaps a single domain to another domainMaps an entire subtree of domains to another domain Applies toOnly the specified domainAll subdomains under the specified domain UsagePoint individual domain names to another domainPoint an entire hierarchy of subdomains to another domain LimitationsCannot be used on root domainCannot be used on root domain, can affect many subdomains When to Use a DNAME Record: Subdomain Redirection: Use a DNAME record when you want to apply redirection to multiple subdomains at once. Domain Migration: If you're migrating an entire subtree of your domain (e.g., from example.com to newdomain.com), a DNAME record can help simplify the process. Important Notes: Not widely supported by all DNS resolvers, as it’s a less common feature compared to CNAME records. Unlike CNAME, DNAME can affect entire branches of your domain.
  4. DNS CNAME A DNS CNAME (Canonical Name) record is used to create an alias for a domain name, mapping it to another domain name instead of an IP address. It allows multiple domain names to point to the same destination without needing separate IP addresses. How a CNAME Record Works: If you create a CNAME record like this: Hostname: www.example.com Record Type: CNAME Value: example.com ✅ When someone visits www.example.com, the DNS server redirects the query to example.com. The DNS resolver will then look up the A record for example.com to get the IP address. Example Use Cases: Pointing Subdomains: www.example.com → example.com Branding for Services: mail.example.com → ghs.google.com (Google Workspace) Content Delivery Network (CDN): cdn.example.com → cdn.cloudflare.net CNAME Record Rules and Restrictions: ✅ Alias to a domain name, not an IP address. ✅ Multiple CNAMEs can point to the same target domain. ❌ Cannot be used for the root domain (apex domain). Use an A or ALIAS record instead. ❌ CNAME loops are not allowed: a.example.com → b.example.com → a.example.com. CNAME vs. A Record vs. ALIAS: Record TypePurposePoints To A RecordMaps a domain to an IPv4 address192.168.1.1 CNAME RecordMaps a domain to another domain nameexample.com ALIAS RecordRoot-level domain redirection (like CNAME)example.com → IP
  5. DNS CAA A DNS CAA (Certificate Authority Authorization) record is a DNS record that specifies which Certificate Authorities (CAs) are allowed to issue SSL/TLS certificates for a domain. It helps improve security by preventing unauthorized CAs from issuing certificates for your domain. Example of a CAA Record: Hostname: example.com Record Type: CAA Flag: 0 (critical flag, set to 0 for standard use) Tag: issue Value: letsencrypt.org ✅ Explanation: This record means only Let's Encrypt can issue SSL certificates for example.com. CAA Record Structure: A CAA record consists of three components: Flag: 0 = Non-critical (most common) 128 = Critical (if the CA does not understand the record, it must reject certificate issuance) Tag: issue: Authorizes a CA to issue certificates for the domain. issuewild: Authorizes a CA to issue wildcard certificates (*.example.com). iodef: Specifies an email or URL for CA to report policy violations. Value: Specifies the CA (e.g., letsencrypt.org, digicert.com). Example CAA Record Setups: ✅ Allow Let's Encrypt only: plaintext Copy code example.com. CAA 0 issue "letsencrypt.org" ✅ Allow Let's Encrypt for wildcard certificates: plaintext Copy code example.com. CAA 0 issuewild "letsencrypt.org" ✅ Send policy violation reports: plaintext Copy code example.com. CAA 0 iodef "mailto:admin@example.com" Why Use CAA Records? Enhanced Security: Prevent unauthorized SSL certificates. Compliance: Helps meet industry security standards. Transparency: CAs must check CAA records before issuing certificates.
  6. A DNS Alias Record is a type of DNS record used to map a domain name to another domain name, similar to a CNAME (Canonical Name) record, but with important differences in functionality. What Does an Alias Record Do? An Alias Record allows you to point a domain name to another domain or hostname while behaving like an A record at the root level. ✅ Example: example.com → mywebsite.com When someone visits example.com, it resolves to the IP address of mywebsite.com. Alias Record vs. CNAME Record (Key Differences): FeatureAlias RecordCNAME Record Can be used at root?✅ Yes❌ No Points to IP address?✅ Resolves to IP Address❌ Resolves to hostname DNS Query BehaviorActs like an A recordChain of lookups Performance ImpactFaster resolutionSlight delay due to extra query When to Use an Alias Record: Root Domain Redirect: If you want example.com to point to www.example.com. CDN Services: If using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) like Cloudflare or AWS CloudFront. Load Balancers: When pointing to cloud resources like elb.amazonaws.com.
  7. DNS AAAA A DNS AAAA record (pronounced "quad-A record") is used to map a domain name to an IPv6 address. It's similar to an A record, but while an A record points to an IPv4 address, an AAAA record points to an IPv6 address. Example of an AAAA Record: Hostname: example.com Record Type: AAAA IPv6 Address: 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 TTL: 3600 ✅ This means that example.com will resolve to the IPv6 address 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334. Key Differences Between A and AAAA Records: FeatureA RecordAAAA Record IP VersionIPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1)IPv6 (e.g., 2001:db8::1) Address Length32-bit128-bit Record PurposeMaps to IPv4Maps to IPv6 When to Use an AAAA Record: If your server supports IPv6 connectivity, you should create an AAAA record. Modern networks and ISPs are increasingly supporting IPv6 due to IPv4 address exhaustion.
  8. DNS A record A DNS A record (Address Record) is a fundamental DNS (Domain Name System) record that maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. It allows users to access websites using easy-to-remember domain names instead of numerical IP addresses. Example of an A Record: Hostname: example.com Record Type: A IP Address: 192.168.1.1 TTL: 3600 (Time to Live, in seconds) ✅ This means when someone enters example.com in their browser, it will resolve to the IP address 192.168.1.1. How It Works: A user types example.com in a web browser. The browser queries a DNS resolver to find the IP address for example.com. The resolver checks the A record and returns the IP 192.168.1.1. The browser connects to that IP address to load the website. When to Use an A Record: To point your domain to a web server with a static IPv4 address. For setting up nameservers (ns1.example.com → 192.168.1.1). To create subdomains (blog.example.com → 192.168.1.2).
