Understanding MariaDB avoids blind decisions. When you know what it is for, it is easier to distinguish whether you need to make a technical change, whether you just need to check a piece of data or whether it is better to ask for help before touching anything.

## What else to review
- DNS, CNAME, MX or TXT if you are reviewing records or propagation.
