Adding an AAAA Record

AAAA (IPv6 address) maps a host name to its 128-bit IP address (IPv6 address). This record states that all requests for a hostname will be sent to a server with this IP address.

To add the AAAA record, perform the following operations:

1. On the Domains page, click the domain where you wish to add a new record and then select the DNS tab.
2. Select the DNS Records subtab.
3. Click Add New DNS Record.

4. On the displayed page, select the AAAA DNS record type and specify the following DNS record properties:

   • In the Domain field, enter the string to map to the web server. For example, if your domain name is provider.com, entering cp will make the fully qualified domain name cp.provider.com. If you are defining the NS record for your main domain, leave the available field blank.
   • In the IP address field, enter the IPv6 address that the fully qualified domain name will be mapped to. You can get this IP address using any ping utility.

   • TTL (Time To Live): set how many seconds will elapse before the record is refreshed in the DNS cache. To set the TTL, choose between Default TTL, defined by your provider, or Custom. In the latter case, you must specify your own TTL for the record being created.

     Note: The TTL parameter can be edited later.

5. Click Finish.
