Explanation

An A (Address) record maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. When a website is not loading, it is commonly because no A record exists to direct DNS queries to the server's IP address. Without it, browsers cannot resolve the domain to an IP and the site is unreachable. An MX record handles mail routing, a PTR record is used for reverse DNS lookups (IP to hostname), and an SRV record specifies the location of specific services. Adding an A record pointing the domain to the web server's IP address is the standard first step to make a website accessible.
