AAAA Records

Similar to an A Record, the AAAA Record maps a domain name to an IP address, but requires you to map the domain to an IPv6 address instead of an IPv4 address.

Creating a 'AAAA' record consists of completing the following three fields:

• Host - The hostname for the record, entered as either a simple, one-part name, or as a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) with or without a trailing dot. Examples:

  • hostname

  • hostname.example.biz

  • hostname.example.biz.

  • example.biz

  • example.biz.

• Points To - The IPv6 address for the domain.

• TTL - The Time to Live (TTL) for the record. You can provide this value as either an integer or an annotated value (1h = 1 hour).

  • This field is not required, and will be set to the default value if left empty.
