  4. Edit the details for your AAAA record:
    • Name: The host name for the record. Type @ to put the AAAA record on your root domain, or enter a prefix, like mail.
    • Value: The IPv6 for your record. Typically, this will be the IP address of your hosting account. For example, 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:6a2e:0371:7234 is a valid IPv6 address.
    • TTL: How long the server should cache information. The default setting is 1 hour.
  5. Select Save to complete your changes.

Most DNS updates take effect within an hour, but could take up to 48 hours to update globally.
