A web hosting record value is a specific record that is configured on the Internet for a domain name and is used to specify the location and service provider that is hosted under a particular domain name. In the case of multiple virtual hosts running on a physical server, the virtual host record value allows the server to properly route incoming network requests to the appropriate virtual host.
Typically, the web hosting record value is provided by the hosting provider and configured in the domain name registry. When configuring the value of a virtual host record, you need to specify the mapping between the domain name and the corresponding server IP address.
Different record types need to be filled in different record values. It is more common to fill in the IP address provided by the **space provider, and to know the difference between the records, you must know their meaning and function.
Common record types:
A record: An address record, if you need to point the domain name to an IP address, you need to add a record.
cname: If you want to point the domain name to another domain name and have the other domain name provide the IP address, you need to add a CNAME record.
ns: a nameserver record, if you want to specify a nameserver for a subdomain name, you need to add an ns.
aaaa: indicates the IPv6 address record corresponding to the hostname (or domain name).
MX: Fill in the IP address of the mail server or the domain name provided to you by the corporate mailbox, if you don't know, please consult the mail service provider.
Usually you want to point to the IP address provided by the web host, select Type A, and to point to a domain name, select Type Cname.
In summary, a web hosting record value refers to a DNS record that is used to map a domain name to a specific IP address or domain alias. Efficient hosting can be achieved by properly configuring the virtual host record values.
