A CNAME makes it easier if the IP address changes because you only have a single place to change it in the DNS records.

Subject: [WEB400] CNAME or A record?
I want to establish a new subdomain for my main domain. This will be
handled by a server for which I have an existing subdomain. It
appears from what I have read that I can achieve what I want either
through setting up a new A record or by using a CNAME entry.
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to one over the other?
