I wish people offered 32mb-256mb ipv6 only instances.
Until I'm on a 33mhz core and 8mb ram with 100mb storage I'm not happy. I like my Windows 3.1 to boot up slow.
You just reminded me to buy a vps from lowendspirit. There goes another $4 :P
Things will change for the better when @soluslabs supports V6-only VPSs.
but nobody needs more than 512k???
They do... Just use internal IP's.
Yeah :P
But the thing with NAT'd vps's, it is hard to keep track of abuse. Else you would have to log what your clients are doing ... something no one wants. Otherwise you would have to keep playing with ports and what not. PITA. I wouldn't mind offering ipv6 only, but not NAT'd "hybrid" ones.
@rsk you can make a custom script that removes the IPv4 address from the VPS after it is created. That's what i did for our ipv6-only VPS offer two years ago.
@rd100 we just use an LAN-IP actually when we used to do it. Although it doesn't really work, it is just used as an identifier. The client then has his shared ipv4 address and his dedicated ipv6 address.
The only problem like we had before is how we can monitor/trace abuse if for example I have 10 people sharing the same ipv4. It will not be viable to just say well, I have these 10 clients and they are sharing the IP, it is one of them ...
Indeed, I'd say NAT'ed IPv4 is a disaster waiting to happen.
One of the LowEndSpirit clients can easily start uploading child porn via the v4 NAT, and @AnthonySmith will not be able to say anything other than "I dunno, it's one of the clients". Oh and btw as a LowEndSpirit client, would you absolutely love to appear on that list of 20-30 people that is handed to authorities as "one of those is a child molester".
So unless you have complete continuous netflow logging in place (like real ISPs do!!!), don't provide outgoing IPv4 NAT. And wtf one would need it for anyway, why would you want to connect to IPv4 destinations from your IPv6 VPS? Most OSes have IPv6-capable mirrors, or the provider/dc can provide one. Etc. You can install, use and update your OS on v6-only without any problem. Providing v4 NAT is just pandering to lazy people.
Oh be nice!
Seriously though, how would you go on about that?
Wrong answer (and I am being nice to you); correct answer would be: you are mistaken, no one has any reason to worry, I have all the logging in place (describe which software or mechanism is used and the actual set-up, i.e. what and how is logged), etc etc etc.
@rm_ I guess @AnthonySmith knows the complications. Relax :P

Many resident internet connections still do not have native IPv6. So if you're going to host a website on Ipv6 only, it'll be a little lonely.
Sure you can use tunnelbroker and all that kind of stuff, but isn't that roughly the same as NAT IPv4?
NAT IPv4 means support for you connecting out from your VPS to IPv4 hosts.
Hosting websites accessible from IPv4 is achieved by other means, i.e. either incoming port forwarding or reverse proxy. Also those don't present any problems like what we described above regarding IPv4 NAT, and are at least somewhat useful, yes.
Well, it may be nice to have extremely cheap options to work with, just for fun. Not expecting much out of it at this point. But I could use it as an internal thing for my VPS that do have IPv6 on them.
I have not yet learned as much about IPv6 as I should. I figure it's still quite a long ways off considering that most houses(read customers) don't have IPv6.
Or when people stop using SolusVM ;-)
@prometeus used to have a backup solution with just IPv6. I still have one of those.
