+## Creating DNS Domains and Records with Terraform
+
+Terraform can manage DNS domains and records in addition to resources like Droplets and Load Balancers. For instance, to point a domain to a Load Balancer, you can define a configuration to establish this relationship.
+
+### Expl: Pointing `multividas.com` to a Load Balancer
+
+Create a file named `domain_root.tf` with the following configuration:
+
+```yaml
+# domain_root.tf
+resource "digitalocean_domain" "default" {
+  name = "multividas.com"
+  ip_address = digitalocean_loadbalancer.www-lb.ip
+}
+```
+
+### Adding a CNAME Record for www.multividas.com
+
+To create a `CNAME` record that points `www.multividas.com` to `multividas.com`, define the following in a new file called `domain_cname.tf`:
+
+```
+# domain_cname.tf
+
+resource "digitalocean_record" "CNAME-www" {
+  domain = digitalocean_domain.default.name
+  type = "CNAME"
+  name = "www"
+  value = "@"
+}
+```
+
+### Applying the Configuration
+
+After adding these DNS entries, run the following commands to plan and apply the changes:
+
+```sh
+terraform plan
+terraform apply
+```
+
+## Destroying Your Infrastructure with Terraform
+
+In development environments where infrastructure is frequently created and destroyed, Terraform provides a way to tear down resources it manages. While this is less common in production, it can be useful for testing and development purposes.
+
+### Step 1: Create a Destruction Plan
+
+```sh
+terraform plan -destroy -out=terraform.tfplan \
+  -var "pvt_key=$(cat $HOME/.ssh/terraform_ssh)"
+```
+
+Terraform will display a plan with resources marked in red and prefixed with a minus sign (-), indicating they will be removed.
+
+### Step 2: Apply the Destruction Plan
+
+Execute the destruction plan with the following command:
+
+```sh
+terraform apply terraform.tfplan
+```
+
+Terraform will then destroy the resources as outlined in the generated plan.
