Every device that's connected to the world wide web has a distinctive identifier referred to as IP (Internet Protocol) address. This includes computer systems, web servers, smartphones, switches, etcetera. The pool of IPs, that was introduced at first, has been distributed, therefore the so-called IPv4 IP addresses are progressively being replaced with IPv6 addresses. Every domain name that opens an internet site comes with an IP record, which is the address of the server where it is hosted. When using the IPv4 system, the record is called A and it comprises of 4 groups of numbers from 1 to 255 divided with a dot, while with the IPv6 system it's called AAAA and it comprises of eight groups of hexadecimal numbers i.e. this sort of records use digits from 0 to 9 and letters from A to F. An example of an AAAA record is 2010:0c48:43d3:2142:1012:8c3a:2475:2435 and this format works with a considerably larger amount of IPs than the IPv4 format.

: AAAA Records in Cloud Web Hosting

If you'd like to use a domain address or a subdomain which you have inside a cloud web hosting account on our end for any third-party service and you need to set up an AAAA record for that, it will not take you more than only a few mouse clicks to do this via our effective, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel. Once you go to the DNS Records section and click on the Create a New Record button, a compact pop-up will show up. This is the place where you can create any DNS record, so you only have to pick the needed domain or subdomain and the type of record from drop-down navigation 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 intuitive and the new AAAA record will propagate within the hour, to enable you to start using your domain/subdomain with the other provider. If they require it, you'll also be able to modify the Time To Live (TTL) value for the record, defining how long it will remain active in the global DNS system after you modify it or erase it.
