I'm curious -- why would IPv6 access for a website be an important matter?

• ZephyrP 9y ago
  20% of the world uses it.

    Okay but 100% of the world uses IPv4. Why is having IPv6 support important for a website?

      Because IPv4 is close to exhausted[1] and we need IPv6 support to be the rule, not the exception, by the time it's no longer affordable to get an IPv4 address. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion

  It's faster, it's cheaper, it's easier to setup and use. As of now not everyone always has IPv4 access anymore. I conciously avoid purchasing products that have no IPv6 support, as I sometimes have an only IPv6 connection.
