: How does IPv6 and AAAA DNS records affect my visitors? If I set up a web site and the web server only has IPv6, and my domain uses a AAAA DNS record instead of a A record, how does this

If I set up a web site and the web server only has IPv6, and my domain uses a AAAA DNS record instead of a A record, how does this affect my visitors?

Can only end users that have IPv6 on their client access my web site? if that is the case, is there any work arounds?

Users without an IPv6 connection will not have the possibility to connect to your server. There will be some workarounds such as using a tunnel or IPv6 proxies.

Normally it should not affect any of your visitors but there can be a few cases in which an AAAA-record is requested only (so the user does only get the IPv6 address) but the connection does not support IPv6 already thus making the website unaccessible for some users (this may affect 1 or 2 in 1000 users).
