Whenever there is IP changed, A record has to be updated. With CNAME, you don’t have to do that

You could use a web based DNS lookup tool to get the IP address of your website. Something like https://www.dnswatch.info/ or https://digwebinterface.com/ works well for that. If you enter your domain name there, you should see the Website IP from the client area in the response.

If the DNS records are already setup at Sectigo, you could even query the Sectigo servers for the records before switching over. Digwebinterface can do this if you enter the Sectigo nameservers in the Nameservers box.

I would have checked it for you, but I don’t know the nameserver addresses of Sectigo.

if your account is suspended also or delted there is no way to recover. atleast take a backup every day or on weekly basis, it is a good practise

A DDoS protected DNS service won’t do much to protect your website against DDoS attacks. A DDoS protected DNS service only means your domain’s DNS is better protected against attacks. You’ll probably have more luck with something that actually protects websites, like Cloudflare.

As for your DNS settings, I see you’ve added the A record for ojaswi.org to Sectigo’s DNS correctly, but there is no record for the www subdomain. You can either setup a CNAME record for it and point it to your base domain, or create another A record and point it to the same IP address as your base domain.

I recommend you use Cloudflare to manage your DNS, as it will also allow you to create Firewall rules, protect your from DDoS attacks, and manage SSL, all for free.

Here is a guide to get you started if you wish:
