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
Type | Host | Value |
