The site doesn't work. So naturally that means I don't have ipv6 support. What can do to change that or is it entirely upto my isp? Also how do I get a ipv6 based instance in a host like amazon or linode etc?

If your ISP provides IPv6, then it's up to your router to support it and hand out an address to your computer. You might be able to get a firmware update for it, or use a good third-party one. Your OS almost certainly supports IPv6 already, it just needs access. If your ISP doesn't provide IPv6 at all, then aside from switching ISPs, you can try getting a tunnel from a service like https://tunnelbroker.net/ https://tunnelbroker.net/ (Hurricane Electric), although I've never used that service, only SixXS when it was around. Who's your ISP?

If you are inferring lack of IPv6 support from that site not loading, be aware that the site loads very slowly. If you want to see if you have working IPv6, try here [1]. If that says you do not have IPv6, then here are thing to check. 1. Check your computer to make sure it is asking the router for an IPv6 address. On my Mac, for example, it was originally only asking for an IPv4 address. When I changed the settings for my ethernet port to ask for an IPv6 address too it worked. 2. If your computer is asking for an IPv6 address but not getting one, check the modem or router provided by your ISP. On its settings or status page it should say if it supports IPv6, and whether or not it has got an address from the ISP, and whether or not its DHCP server is configured to let your computers have an IPv6 address. 3. If your computer and the ISP supplied modem or router all support IPv6 and are configured to use it, check any intermediate routers you use. For example, if your ISP supplied router is wired-only, and you have a wireless router of your own plugged into it via ethernet, and your computer gets to the internet via that wireless router, you'll need to have it set up to support IPv6 too.
