Introduction:
In the context of DNS (Domain Name System), an A record stands for “Address Record.” It is a type of DNS record used to map a domain name (like example.com) to the IP address of the server hosting that domain’s services, such as a website or an email server. When you type a domain name into a web browser or send an email to an address at that domain, the DNS resolver first looks up the corresponding A record to find the server’s IP address associated with that domain. This IP address is then used to establish a connection to the appropriate server.
