Every device that's connected to the world wide web has a special identifier referred to as IP (Internet Protocol) address. This includes PCs, web servers, smartphones, switches, etcetera. The pool of IPs, that was introduced initially, is already distributed, so the so-called IPv4 IP addresses are progressively being replaced with IPv6 addresses. Every domain name that opens a website has an IP record, that is the address of the server where it's hosted. When using the IPv4 system, the record is called A and it is made up of four groups of numbers from 1 to 255 split up using a dot, while within the IPv6 system it's called AAAA and it is made up of eight sets of hexadecimal numbers i.e. this kind of records use digits from 0 to 9 and letters from A to F. An illustration of an AAAA record is 2010:0c48:43d3:2142:1012:8c3a:2475:2435 and this format is designed for a substantially larger number of IPs when compared with the IPv4 format.

AAAA Records in Cloud Hosting

The highly developed Hepsia web hosting CP, provided with our cloud hosting, will allow you to set up a new AAAA record with ease. Once you are within the account and you navigate to the DNS Records section, you'll find all records you have for any hosted domain name or a subdomain under it. All it takes to create the AAAA record is to click the New Record button, to pick the domain/subdomain in question, pick AAAA after which simply input or copy and paste the IPv6 address. We also have a step-by-step guide if you've never created records for your domain names, but it's less likely that you'll need it as Hepsia is much simpler to work with than compared with other Control Panels available on the market. Within an hour your new record is going to be active and your domain address shall start resolving to the servers of the other company. There is also an option to edit the TTL value, which shows how long this record is going to be working if you modify it, from the standard 3600 seconds to any value the other company may require.

AAAA Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

As our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform supports AAAA records, you will be able to create one with ease for every internet domain or subdomain that 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 can start using the services of any other company you direct the domain/subdomain to in no time. You could create the record from the DNS Records section of your Hepsia hosting CP where you will also find all the other records that were created automatically or you have created manually before. The creation of the new AAAA record is as simple as selecting the needed Internet domain or subdomain and the AAAA type via simple drop-down menus, typing the IPv6 address in a text box and saving the change. You are going to be able to modify the record anytime if required. If the other company demands a particular TTL value for the new record, you will be able to modify this setting too. The Time To Live option defines how long an existing record will continue working after you change it or delete it and the time is in seconds.
