Ukraine is preparing to move to the sixth version of the IP protocol - IPv6
Today, the NIC.UA registrar provided an opportunity to use the new protocol, IPv6, in the work of domain names. Now you can specify an AAAA record in the domain name settings, that is, you can configure your domains to use IPv6. Registrar's DNS servers are available over both IPv4 and IPv6. Thus, domain names registered with the help of NIC.UA will be able to work in the “new version of the world wide web”.
The IP addresses of the new 6th version will soon become as familiar and widely used as the 4th version IP addresses that we are now used to seeing. But in order for a domain name to contain a new kind of IP address, appropriate support is required, namely, an "AAAA" record in the domain name settings (the old version of IP addresses was indicated in an "A" record).
The transition to IPv6 will be launched on " World IPv6 Day " - June 8, 2011, when the largest online resources will write "AAAA" type records in their domains. Before this date, it is not recommended to register IPv6 addresses, but you need to test your domains and make sure that your Internet provider is ready to work on the new version of Internet addressing.
Registrar's clients will be able to start testing and setting up AAAA records in their domains right now, which means that they will be prepared in time and use the capabilities of the new protocol. NIC.UA is currently the only registrar of domains in Ukraine providing support for the IPv6 protocol.

The shortage of addresses in IPv4 specialists of the organization NRO (Number Resources Organization), engaged in the management of the address space of the Internet, officially announced about a year ago. The last blocks of IP addresses of the old version were allocated on February 3, 2011.
Only a new version of the protocol, IPv6, can solve the problem. The transition to the new protocol becomes a prerequisite for the normal functioning of the Internet in the world. IPv6 addresses are displayed as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by a colon, for example: 2001: 0db8: 11a3: 09d7: 1f34: 8a2e: 07a0: 765d. The new protocol will provide 5 · 10 28 addresses for each inhabitant of the Earth, that is, an almost unlimited number of addresses.
