What are the AAAA?

AAAA Records. The AAAA record is similar to the A record, but it allows you to point the domain to an Ipv6 address. More information on IPv6 can be found at http://ipv6.com/.

A records are used for conversion of domain names to corresponding IP addresses. IP Version 6 Address records (AAAA) The record AAAA (also quad-A record) specifies IPv6 address for given host. So it works the same way as the A record and the difference is the type of IP address.

A TXT record (short for text record) is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS) used to provide the ability to associate arbitrary text with a host or other name, such as human readable information about a server, network, data center, or other accounting information.

A Canonical Name or CNAME record is a type of DNS record that maps an alias name to a true or canonical domain name. CNAME records are typically used to map a subdomain such as www or mail to the domain hosting that subdomain’s content.

A Pointer (PTR) record resolves an IP address to a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) as an opposite to what A record does. PTR records are also called Reverse DNS records. Here is what it looks like when performing external DNS lookup: IP addresses of all Intermedia mail servers already have PTR records created.

CNAME stands for Canonical Name. CNAME records can be used to alias one name to another. For example, if you have a server where you keep all of your documents online, it might normally be accessed through docs.example.com .

Aging and Scavenging is a DNS server service which supports a mechanism for performing clean-up and removal of stale resource records which can accumulate in zone data over time. It helps to maintain the dynamic DNS environment by regular deletion of stale resource records from the DNS database.

A Records are the most basic type of DNS record and are used to point a domain or subdomain to an IP address. Assigning a value to an A record is as simple as providing your DNS management panel with an IP address to where the domain or subdomain should point and a TTL.

A Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) record is used to specify which certificate authorities (CAs) are allowed to issue certificates for a domain.

The SRV record is a Domain Name System (DNS) resource record that is used to identify computers that host specific services. SRV resource records are used to locate domain controllers for Active Directory. To verify SRV locator resource records for a domain controller, use one of the following methods.

An NS record is used to delegate a subdomain to a set of name servers. Whenever you delegate a domain to DNSimple the TLD authorities place NS records for your domain in the TLD name servers pointing to us.

An AAAA (pronounced quad A) record is a DNS record that maps to an IPv6 address. AAAA records are available for customers using the No-IP Plus Managed DNS service. Currently, IP addresses are based on version 4 of the internet protocol, where there are 4 sets of numbers ranging from 0-255. For example (127.198.30.245).

A start of authority (SOA) record is information stored in a domain name system (DNS) zone about that zone and about other DNS records. A DNS zone is the part of a domain for which an individual DNS server is responsible. Each zone contains a single SOA record.

The Domain Name System (aka DNS) is used to resolve human-readable hostnames like www.Dyn.com into machine-readable IP addresses like 204.13.248.115. DNS also provides other information about domain names, such as mail services.

Domain Name Servers (DNS) are the Internet’s equivalent of a phone book. They maintain a directory of domain names and translate them to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. This is necessary because, although domain names are easy for people to remember, computers or machines, access websites based on IP addresses.

Windows

Click your current connection’s name.

Click Change settings of this connection.

Click the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” result.

Click Properties.

Check the “Use the following DNS server addresses” circle.

Enter a preferred DNS address.

Enter an alternate DNS address.

Click OK.

Method 2: Configure the TCP/IP settings

Select Start > Control Panel.

Select View network status and tasks under Networking and Internet.

Select Change adapter settings.

Press and hold (or right-click) Local Area Connection, and then select Properties.

Select Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) > Properties.

When you try to connect to the Internet, the connection might fail when we run the Troubleshooter, and you might get this error: The device or resource (DNS server) is not responding. The exact error would be: You computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding.
