Hetzner Cloud offers IPv6-only or no public IP at all
- ggm 4y agoTheir reference to primary ip costs probably could say up-front IPv6 is free. It's on the actual ip costs page, but the link here might lead some to think it costs money to be IPv6 only
- dizhn 4y agoIt's not only their cloud offerings. If you check out the dedicated servers you will see a single IPv4 IP listed but it is marked as optional in the details. This was communicated to customers a while back. All IPv4 IPs costs are unbundled from the server costs now (even for existing customers). Or if you want to look at it from the other side, there are no free IPv4 IPs anymore.
- kaliszad 4y agoIt's great you don't have to configure any public interface at all (and can basically have an internal only VPS). Reducing cost by removing or not configuring public IPv4 is also a good development - there are so many things that can work IPv6-only now even access from outside.

- jpoesen 4y agoThis title suggests that Hetzner's new policy is EITHER you take an IPv6 address OR none at all, and that IPv4 is completely off the table. This is incorrect; everything remains the same but you now have the option to get a cheaper instance by not getting an IPv4 address: > "The total price for cloud servers with public IP addresses is the same as before. The only change that comes with the new network options is the ability to reduce costs by removing the Primary IPv4."
- capableweb 4y agoYeah wow, talk about misleading. It's not like it's unclear either, they make it very easy to understand. These are the three options you have: - Two public IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) – The server has a public network and supports public IPv4 / IPv6 connections. - One public IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) - The server has a public network, but only supports either public IPv4 or IPv6 connections. - No public IP addresses – The server does not have a public network. Instead, it only is accessible within a private network and with a private IP address.
- sitkack 4y agoHaving an IPv4 is like having a 212 prefix.
- mtmail 4y agoWhat is a 212 prefix? I don't understand the reference.

- semi-extrinsic 4y agoThe old prefix for Manhattan landline telephone numbers. Some people think they are prestigious, they ran out of new ones like 10 years ago.
- tommiegannert 4y agoI'm a small user of them. Happy so far with their communication around this. I wasn't hit too hard work the price hike. I wonder if we'll see a rise in people using a gateway server for ipv4, but use ipv6 directly. Would be nice to see ipv6 users having some benefit latency wise.
- lizardactivist 4y agoIs the headline intentional FUD? The linked article shows how flexible they are: both IPv4 and IPv6, or even a server with no public interface, only accessible from your other servers in order to enhance security.
- ramshanker 4y agoI will quote from their actual pricing page. https://www.hetzner.com/cloud https://www.hetzner.com/cloud Removing public IPv4 gets you a discount of €0.50 / month on the server.
