What's an A record ?
An A Record maps a domain name to its corresponding IPv4 address, which is the numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.
Essentially, when you want to visit a website, the A Record tells the browser where to find the website by translating the human-readable domain name (like wikipedia.org) into the machine-readable IP address (such as 103.102.166.224).
