When you are entering records to MiniDNS, you need to specify the type of a record. MiniDNS supports these types:
| Type | Description | Function |
| A | Address record | Returns a 32-bit IPv4 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host. |
| AAAA | IPv6 address record | Returns a 128-bit IPv6 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host. |
| TXT | Text record | Originally for arbitrary human-readable text in a DNS record. |
| URI | Uniform Resource Identifier | Can be used for publishing mappings from hostnames to URIs. |
For most cases type “A” is the best option. But if you use IPv6 protocol, then you need to use type “AAAA”. I recommend you, that you always check “Add WWW too” because if the user visits the www website of entered domain, it won’t work.
