Pointing an AAAA record to an IP address

AAAA records are used in much the same way as A records, with the main difference being that they locate IP addresses of the type IPv6 (128-bit) instead of addresses of the type IPv4 (32-bit), as are used by A records.

How to point an AAAA record

  1. Click Products in the top menu.

  2. Select the domain from the drop-down menu.

  3. Click Domain.

  4. Click DNS Administration in order to open the DNS Administration screen.

  5. In the AAAA (IPv6 Host) panel, enter the host name you wish to point in the Host field.

  6. In the Points to field, enter the IP address to which you want to point the AAAA record.

  7. In the TTL field (Time to Live), choose when the change should be made available for other servers, 24 hours is the recommended alternative.

  8. Click Add in order to add the AAAA record to your zone file.

The new AAAA record has now been added and the change will be made available according to your selection in the TTL field.

Tip! You can also Edit and Remove existing records by clicking the respective links in the Actions column.
