AAAA is a domain name record, which is in essence the IPv6 address of the server in which the domain is hosted. The IPv6 system was intended to replace the present IPv4 system in which each Internet protocol address comprises of 4 groups of decimal numbers ranging from 1 to 255 e.g. 5.168.208.143. On the other hand, an IPv6 address features eight sets of 4 hexadecimal numbers - ranging from 0 to 9 and from A to F. The main reason for this transformation is the considerably smaller range of unique IPs which the existing system supports as well as the speedy increase of products that are connected to the world wide web. An example of an IPv6 address is 2101:1f34:32e2:2415:1365:4f2b:2553:1345. If you wish to direct a domain name to a server that uses this type of an address, you will have to set up an AAAA record for it, not the widely used A record, that is an IPv4 address. The two records have the same exact function, but different notations are used, to separate the two forms of addresses.

After you visit the DNS Records section and click on the Create a New Record button, a small pop-up will appear. This is the area where you can set up any DNS record, so you simply have to select the needed domain or subdomain and the type of record through drop-down options menu and type in the IPv6 address, that’s the actual record.

If they require it, you are also going to be able to change the Time To Live (TTL) value for the record, determining how long it will stay active in the global DNS system after you modify it or remove it.
AAAA Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
As our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform supports AAAA records, you will be able to create one with no trouble for any domain address or subdomain that you host inside a semi-dedicated server account from our company and the new record is going to propagate within the hour, to enable you to start using the services of any other service provider you point the domain/subdomain to right away.

The creation of the new AAAA record is as simple as picking out the needed domain name or subdomain and the AAAA type via simple drop-down menus, entering the IPv6 address in a text box and saving the modification. You will be able to modify the record at any time if required. If the other provider demands a specific TTL value for the new record, you will be able to modify this setting also. The Time To Live option determines how long an existing record will continue working after you change it or erase it and the time is in seconds.
