IPv6-only Virtual Servers

If you don&#x27;t mind proxying your traffic, Cloudflare can be used as a reverse proxy in front of an IPv6 only address and they will create an IPv4 address for your site too.<p>This allows your own server to be IPv6 only, and still hosts websites to IPv4 customers.<p>This off course won&#x27;t work for stuff like email...

I&#x27;ve posted this before, so I hope it doesn&#x27;t come out as spam (not affiliated, just a fan). A similar project is <a href="http://lowendspirit.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lowendspirit.com&#x2F;</a><p>Dirty, dirty cheap vps (3€&#x2F;year) with only ipv6.<p>Actually, that&#x27;s not exactly true. You get 20 ports of a shared ipv4, which is nice if you can&#x27;t connect over ipv6. You can also ask for an haproxy entry, so that your vps will answer on port 80 when trying to access your site.<p>I hope we&#x27;ll see similar discounts in the future, since ipv4 keep getting more expansive every day (right now provider can easily charge 1-5€&#x2F;month for one).

To Mythic Beasts and other smaller discount VPS providers: please, please provide an API.<p>I am building a service that uses the Digital Ocean API. Their prices are lower than large services like AWS, Google and even Linode so I can provide a good value by adding on to their virtual servers (I am building a service for deploying Docker containers).<p>If there was another somewhat smaller but still relatively discounted and reliable VPS provider with a good API then I could provide that as another option for my customers to deploy their Docker containers to.

&quot;If you’re a technology professional and have no idea what any of this means, we suggest you start your training by placing an order here.&quot;<p>Step 1: Give us your money. Step 2. ??? Step 3. Get it!

Genuinely curious, why would a cheap virtual server ever need 4 billion IPv6 addresses?<p>Why not just give out a &#x2F;64? (254 addresses) which is the minimum amount of addresses you can assign in IPv6.
