An AAAA record is an IP in the freshly launched IPv6 format and it comprises of 8 groups of hexadecimal digits, in contrast to the IPv4 IPs, that include four sets of numbers in between 1 and 255. A good example of an IPv6 address would be 3014:0d43:23a3:2354:1320:8f3b:2635:3254 and in this format the amount of IPs that could be created is many times larger than the number of the IPv4 addresses. Each domain name has its website hosting server IP as a record and in essence, this record instructs the domain address where the site for it can be found. Depending on the system which the provider employs, the record will be called A (IPv4) or AAAA (IPv6). Changing this record allows you to host your Internet site with one company and your e-mails with a different one, so if you decide to use this type of redirection to forward a domain name to a server that uses an IPv6 address, you will have to set up an AAAA record for it.

AAAA Records in Cloud Website Hosting

If you want to use a domain address or a subdomain that you have in a cloud website hosting account on our end for any third-party service and you have to set up an AAAA record for that, it won't take you more than just a few mouse clicks to do this by using our powerful, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP. After you visit the DNS Records section and click on the Create a New Record button, a compact pop-up will appear. This is the spot in which you can create any DNS record, so you just have to pick the needed domain or subdomain and the type of record from drop-down options menu and enter the IPv6 address, which is the actual record. In case you have no experience with such matters, you'll not have any difficulties as Hepsia is extremely user-friendly and your new AAAA record is going to propagate within the hour, so you can start using your domain/subdomain with the other company. If they demand it, you will also be able to edit the Time To Live (TTL) value for the record, defining how long it is going to remain active in the global DNS system after you change it or delete it.

AAAA Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

As our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform supports AAAA records, you'll be able to create one with no trouble for any internet domain or subdomain you host within a semi-dedicated server account from our company and the new record is going to propagate within the hour, so that you could start using the services of any other service provider you point the domain/subdomain to in no time. You could create the record from the DNS Records section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel in which you will also find all other records that were created automatically or you have set up manually previously. The creation of the new AAAA record is as easy as selecting the needed Internet domain or subdomain and the AAAA type via simple drop-down menus, typing the IPv6 address inside a text box and saving the change. You will be able to edit the record anytime if necessary. In case the other service provider needs a certain TTL value for the new record, you'll be able to edit this setting as well. The Time To Live option determines how long an existing record will continue operating after you modify it or delete it and the time is in seconds.
