AAAA Records

An AAAA record is an IP in the newly presented IPv6 format and it is made up of 8 different groups of hexadecimal numbers, in contrast to the IPv4 IPs, that include 4 sets of digits in between 1 and 255. A good example of an IPv6 address would be 3014:0d43:23a3:2354:1320:8f3b:2635:3254 and with this format the total number of IPs that could be created is many times bigger than the number of the IPv4 addresses. Every single domain has its web hosting server IP as a record and in essence, that record informs the domain name where the site for it is. Depending on the system which the company uses, the record will be called A (IPv4) or AAAA (IPv6). Changing this record enables you to host your site with one company and your email messages with another, so if you choose to use this type of redirection to point a domain address to a server that uses an IPv6 address, you will need to set up an AAAA record for it.

: AAAA Records in Web Hosting

If you use a service with a third-party company and you need to set up an AAAA record to forward a domain address or a subdomain to their system, you're going to be able to do that with just a few clicks in the Hepsia CP, which comes with all of our web hosting solutions. As soon as you sign in, you have to proceed to the DNS Records section where you are going to find all of the records for any domain address or subdomain hosted inside the account. Creating a new record is as basic as clicking on a button, picking the type from a drop-down menu, which will be AAAA in this case, and then entering the value, or the actual IPv6 address, inside a text box. As an added option you are able to edit the TTL value (Time To Live), which defines how long the record is active after you change it or erase it in the future. The new AAAA record is going to be working in no more than an hour and will propagate around the world an hour or two later, so the hostname for which you have created it will start forwarding to the new server.; AAAA Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

As our advanced cloud hosting platform supports AAAA records, you're going to be able to create one effortlessly for every domain address or subdomain which you host in a semi-dedicated server account from our company and the new record is going to propagate within the hour, so that you can start using the services of any other company you direct the domain/subdomain to right away. You can create the record from the DNS Records section of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel where you will also find all other records that were created automatically or you have created manually in the past. The creation of the new AAAA record is as basic as selecting the needed domain name or subdomain and the AAAA type from simple drop-down menus, inputting the IPv6 address within a text box and saving the modification. You'll be able to modify the record at any time if necessary. Assuming the other service provider needs a certain TTL value for the new record, you will be able to change this setting too. The Time To Live option specifies how long an existing record will continue working after you edit it or erase it and the time is in seconds.
