An AAAA record is a type of DNS record that maps a domain name to its corresponding IPv6 address. When you perform an nslookup using our AAAA Record DNS Lookup tool, it queries DNS servers to retrieve the IPv6 addresses associated with the specified domain. This helps you verify if your domain is accessible over IPv6 networks, which is increasingly important as IPv4 addresses become scarce.
If you enter a root domain like example.com, our tool will automatically check for AAAA records for both example.com and www.example.com. This ensures that both the root domain and the 'www' subdomain are properly configured for IPv6. For other subdomains, only the specified domain will be checked.
An AAAA (Quad A) record links a domain name to its corresponding IPv6 address. It plays a crucial role in the DNS system by enabling users to access websites over the IPv6 protocol. With the depletion of IPv4 addresses, IPv6 adoption is essential for the future growth of the internet.
Performing a DNS lookup and domain check using our tool helps you identify any misconfigurations or propagation delays in your IPv6 setup. Ensuring that your domain has correct AAAA records improves accessibility and connectivity for users on IPv6 networks.
