Explanation: The AAAA Address record links a FQDN to an IPv6 address.
An A and AAAA record are actually primary DNS records. They associate a domain name with a specific IP address, so that when a user types in a web address, such as “www.comptia.com” so that their browser knows where to go for the actual website.
The difference between A and AAAA is this:
A is IPv4
AAAA is the current IPv6 record.
Beyond that, there is no difference. Later on, IPv6 records will be changed to A6 records
