Every single device which is connected to the web has a unique identifier named IP (Internet Protocol) address. This includes computer systems, web servers, smart phones, switches, etcetera. The pool of IP addresses, which was introduced originally, has been distributed, so the so-called IPv4 IP addresses are progressively being replaced with IPv6 addresses. Every domain that opens a site comes with an IP record, that is the address of the server where it is hosted. With the IPv4 system, the record is called A and it consists of 4 groups of numbers from 1 to 255 split up with a dot, while with the IPv6 system it's called AAAA and it comprises of eight sets of hexadecimal numbers i.e. this type of records use numbers 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 is designed for a significantly larger amount of IPs compared with the IPv4 format.

AAAA Records in Shared Hosting

If you wish to use a domain or a subdomain you have in a shared hosting account on our end for any third-party service and you have to create an AAAA record for that, it is not going to take you more than just a few mouse clicks to do that using our highly effective, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel. As soon as you go to the DNS Records section and click on the Create a New Record button, a compact pop-up will appear. This is the spot where you could set up any DNS record, so you just have to select the needed domain address or subdomain and the type of record via drop-down menus and input the IPv6 address, which is the actual record. Even if you have zero experience with such matters, you'll not have any difficulties as Hepsia is incredibly user-friendly and the new AAAA record is going to propagate within the hour, so that you can start using your domain/subdomain with the other provider. Provided they demand it, you will also be able to edit the Time To Live (TTL) value for the record, defining how long it'll stay active in the global DNS system after you change it or erase it.

AAAA Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

As our innovative cloud web hosting platform supports AAAA records, you're going to be able to create one with ease for any internet domain or subdomain you host inside 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 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 in the past. The creation of the new AAAA record is as easy as picking the needed domain or subdomain and the AAAA type via simple drop-down menus, inputting the IPv6 address in a text box and saving the modification. You'll be able to change the record at any time if required. Assuming the other provider demands a specific TTL value for the new record, you will be able to change this setting also. The Time To Live option determines how long an existing record will continue functioning after you edit it or delete it and the time is in seconds.
