Every single device which is connected to the web has a special identifier called IP (Internet Protocol) address. This includes computer systems, web servers, smartphones, switches, and so on. The pool of IPs, which was introduced initially, has been distributed, hence the so-called IPv4 IP addresses are steadily being replaced with IPv6 addresses. Every domain which opens a website has an IP record, which is the address of the server where it's hosted. When using the IPv4 system, the record is called A and it consists of 4 groups of numbers from 1 to 255 divided by a dot, while within the IPv6 system it's called AAAA and it is made up of 8 sets of hexadecimal numbers i.e. this kind of records use digits 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 can handle a significantly bigger number of IPs in comparison with the IPv4 format.

AAAA Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Creating a new AAAA record for a domain name or a subdomain hosted within a semi-dedicated server from our company features only a couple of very easy steps, which you'll be able to find in the Help section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel as well. You'll need to select the hostname for which the new record is going to be created from a drop-down menu where you will find all of your domains and subdomains. Setting up the new AAAA record is as easy as choosing the one that you need and typing in the IPv6 address for it. This is done with no more than a couple of clicks, so you can effortlessly direct any hostname to a different service provider by using an AAAA record and use it with whatever service they offer. It takes mere seconds for the new record to be functioning and only around an hour for it to propagate around the globe, so you'll be done in no time. The other service provider may also ask you to set some TTL value for the AAAA record, that's different from the standard one - 3600 seconds. This feature reveals how long it will take for any new value you set for your record to take effect as the old value is still active.
