ALIAS
record maps a name to another name, but can coexist with other records on that name.
URL Redirect Record
Redirect to URL, masked means to keep the original url in the bar, unmasked means to change url
Common to create:
A record for example.com => server IP address
CNAMErecord for www.example.com => example.com
Can also use nginx as a reverse proxy to use the url path as DNS only deals with domain name and subdomains
Use different hosts with CNAME records
I.e api.example.com => aws.backend1.com
example's.com => aws.frontend.s3.com
