Website DNS records

[NathanBWF]

Which DNS records are used for websites? If I setup a website using a hosting company (i.e. freewebs.com) which DNS records do I have to edit to point to their web hosting servers? Sorry, I'm a website noOb...

you would point the "A" or Address record for www.whateverdomain.com to the address of the hosting server.

Or AAAA records if its a IPv6 site! Then again, this is probably just pointless info since it seems very few people are doing v6...
