How DNS works

When you type ekacpa.com, your device asks DNS which IP address belongs to that domain.

A, AAAA, CNAME, MX and TXT records serve different needs.

Why is a DNS change not immediate?

TTL and resolver caches can make regions see different answers temporarily.

What is the difference between A and AAAA?

A points to IPv4, while AAAA points to IPv6.
