An AAAA record is an IP within the newly released IPv6 format and it is comprised of eight sets of hexadecimal digits, in contrast to the IPv4 IPs, which feature four groups of digits in between 1 and 255. An illustration of an IPv6 address is 3014:0d43:23a3:2354:1320:8f3b:2635:3254 and in this format the number of IPs which can be created is many times larger than the number of the IPv4 addresses. Every domain name has its website hosting server Internet protocol address as a record and in essence, this record instructs the domain address where the site for it is. Depending on the system that the service provider uses, the record is going to be called A (IPv4) or AAAA (IPv6). Changing this record permits you to host your site with one company and your emails with a different one, so if you choose to use such a redirection to point a domain address to a server that uses an IPv6 address, you'll need to create an AAAA record for it.
