DNS records are essential for directing traffic to the correct servers on the internet. The A record maps a domain to an IPv4 address, while the AAAA record maps a domain to an IPv6 address. Here’s how you can add them:

🔧 Steps to Add an A or AAAA Record

Login to Your DNS Hosting Provider
Go to the website where your domain is managed (e.g., GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Namecheap, etc.) and log into your account.
Navigate to the DNS Management Section
Look for a section labeled "DNS Settings," "DNS Management," or "Zone Editor."
Add a New Record
Click on "Add Record" or "Create Record." A form will appear where you can enter the record details.
Select Record Type
Choose either A or AAAA depending on whether you're pointing to an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
Enter the Record Details
- Name/Host: Enter the subdomain (use "@" for root domain).
- IPv4/IPv6 Address: Enter the server IP address.
- TTL (Time to Live): Leave it as default or set it based on how frequently you want DNS caches to refresh.
Save the Record
Click "Save," "Add Record," or similar to apply the changes.

✅ Example

Name: @  
IPv4 Address: 192.0.2.1
