An AAAA record is an IP in the newly released IPv6 format and it consists of eight different groups of hexadecimal digits, as opposed to the IPv4 IPs, which feature four sets of digits between 1 and 255. An example of an IPv6 address is 3014:0d43:23a3:2354:1320:8f3b:2635:3254 and in this format the amount of IPs that may be created is many times bigger than the number of the IPv4 addresses. Each domain has its web hosting server Internet protocol address as a record and in essence, this unique record tells the domain where the website for it is located. Depending on the system that the company employs, the record is going to be called A (IPv4) or AAAA (IPv6). Changing this record will allow you to host your website with one provider and your email messages with another, so if you choose to use this kind of redirection to point a domain to a server that uses an IPv6 address, you will need to set up an AAAA record for it.
