How do I create an AAAA record?
With an AAAA record, you can point a domain to an IPv6-address. It is the same as an A record, but instead of pointing to an IPv4-address, it's used to point to an IPv6-address.
An AAAA record isn't very common, because most services still use IPv4 addresses, but as the use of Ipv6 grows, so will AAAA records.

New one.com Control Panel update
With the rollout of our new Control Panel design, some steps or screenshots in this guide may look different from what you see now. While we work on updates, please check the guide below whenever the instructions don't match your screen:
Create an AAAA record on your domain
- Log into the one.com Control Panel.
- Click Domain in the left-hand menu and then Domain settings.
- Now go to DNS records.
- Click to AAA.
- Enter the following details:
- Hostname: leave it empty to point the domain, or enter a subdomain.
- IP-address: where you want to point to.
- TTL: optional. If you leave it empty, it will use the default time of 3600 seconds. - Click Create record to save your settings.
Example: In the screenshot below we have pointed www.one-example.net to the IP-address 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. The TTL is left empty, meaning it is set to 3600, which means the server will cache this setting for one hour.
