This guide explains how to add or modify one or more A and AAAA type records in the DNS zone (of a domain name) managed in the Infomaniak Manager.

Introduction

• This type of record allows you to point a domain name to a static IP address (usually a server), type A for IPv4 and AAAA for IPv6.
• This is the method generally used to redirect your domain name to the IP address of the web server hosting your website. Moreover, this type of record is used automatically to link your domain name with your website if they are in the same location and within the same Infomaniak organization.
• You should only modify this type of record if you have a specific configuration to implement (e.g., pointing a subdomain to an external application).
