DNS hosting is a service that manages and stores Domain Name System (DNS) records for a domain. A DNS is like the phonebook of the internet, translating human-readable domain names (like www.digitalrose.com.au) into machine-readable IP addresses (like 192.168.1.1) so web browsers know where to find the website or email service.

Common DNS records include:

• A records (to map domain names to IP addresses)
• MX records (for email routing)
• CNAME records (for aliasing one domain to another)
• TXT records (for text-based data, like SPF for email security)

We provide Free DNS hosting with every Domain Name purchase which is useful when you want to use your domain name with an independent system / application like Shopify, Wix, Squarespace or email services such as Google Workspace or Microsoft Exchange Online.
