Add an AAAA record

AAAA records store 128-bit Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses that do not fit the standard A-record format. For example, 2001:0db8::85a3:0000:0000:6a2e:0371:7234 is a valid 128-bit/IPv6 address. It maps the host name to an address associated with a domain name and specifies that AAAA records must be processed.

Note: If your domain is registered at another company, see the Domains registered at another company section below for instructions.

1. Log in to your My Products page.
2. If you aren't automatically directed there, make sure to select the My Products tab.
3. Next to the domain you want to use, click DNS.
4. On the DNS Management page, at the bottom of the Records section, click Add and select AAAA from the menu.
5. Complete the following fields:
   • Name - Enter the host name or domain name that links to this AAAA record.
   • Value - Enter the 128-bit address.
   • TTL - Select how long the server should cache the information.
6. Click Save.
