Mythic Beasts have been offering v6 only for years on their virtual and dedicated hosts - I've got a VPS with them with only v6, no point in paying for v4 if I don't need it.
They point out that offering v4 as a separate line item leads to conversations with accountants about "what's this line item, and do you actually need it?"

- pooper 4y agoMaybe it is still a fair question for machines that should only be reachable by other machines you fully own (like database servers and so on)? Just thinking out loud.

- Hamuko 4y agoWhy would those machines need any public IP address, be it IPv4 or IPv6? I'm not sure if we have a single database server with a public IP address.
- TobTobXX 4y agoOP is talking about VPS servers someone _other_ (eg. Hetzner) runs, I think.
- Hamuko 4y agoHetzner VPS instances don't need to have public IP addresses. >Assign Primary IPs to your server to establish a connection to the internet. Or create a private-network-only cloud server by not adding any Primary IPs at all. You can change the selected network option at any time.
