An AAAA record is an Internet protocol address within the recently released IPv6 format and it consists of 8 sets of hexadecimal numbers, unlike the IPv4 IPs, which feature 4 sets of numbers in between 1 and 255. An illustration of an IPv6 address is 3014:0d43:23a3:2354:1320:8f3b:2635:3254 and in this format the amount of IPs which can be created is many times bigger than the number of the IPv4 addresses. Every single domain name has its hosting server IP address as a record and in essence, this unique record instructs the domain where the website for it is. Depending on the system the service provider uses, the record is going to be called A (IPv4) or AAAA (IPv6). Changing this record permits you to host your Internet site with one company and your emails with another, so if you decide to use this kind of redirection to forward a domain address to a server that uses an IPv6 address, you will have to create an AAAA record for it.

AAAA Records in Cloud Web Hosting

If you'd like to use a domain name or a subdomain you have in a cloud web hosting account on our end for any third-party service and you have to create an AAAA record for that, it will not take you more than a few clicks to do this via our amazing, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel. Once you go to the DNS Records section and click the Create a New Record button, a little pop-up will appear. This is the spot where you can create any DNS record, so you only have to select the needed domain name or subdomain and the type of record from drop-down menus and type in the IPv6 address, that is the actual record. Even if you have zero experience with such matters, you will not have any difficulties as Hepsia is extremely user-friendly and the new AAAA record will propagate within the hour, so you can start using your domain/subdomain with the other company. If they demand it, you are also going to be able to change the Time To Live (TTL) value for the record, determining how long it's going to stay active in the global DNS system after you edit it or delete it.
