– An A record is the DNS record that is responsible for mapping hostnames to IP addresses. The A record is essential because it allows DNS servers to identify and locate your website and its various services on the Internet. Without an A record, your visitors will not be able to access your website, FTP servers, or email accounts.

Remember: cPanel will have configured your DNS records so that visitors will be able to resolve your website and its services (FTP, Email, etc.). A records should only be added when you add a service that is not provided by cPanel or your web host.

– CNAME record stands for “canonical name record.” This record creates an alias, allowing a querying server to continue the DNS lookup under the new name.

– A TXT record is a text record that contains certain information that will be read by querying servers. These can carry useful data for the SPF or DKIM email authentication systems.
