Nulledin Posted January 9 Posted January 9 DNS AAAA A DNS AAAA record (pronounced "quad-A record") is used to map a domain name to an IPv6 address. It's similar to an A record, but while an A record points to an IPv4 address, an AAAA record points to an IPv6 address. Example of an AAAA Record: Hostname: example.com Record Type: AAAA IPv6 Address: 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 TTL: 3600 ✅ This means that example.com will resolve to the IPv6 address 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334. Key Differences Between A and AAAA Records: FeatureA RecordAAAA Record IP VersionIPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1)IPv6 (e.g., 2001:db8::1) Address Length32-bit128-bit Record PurposeMaps to IPv4Maps to IPv6 When to Use an AAAA Record: If your server supports IPv6 connectivity, you should create an AAAA record. Modern networks and ISPs are increasingly supporting IPv6 due to IPv4 address exhaustion. Quote
