I actually made the unusual decision, last year, to go IPv6-only on a small website I operate. The reason why is that AWS changed their billing policy for public IPv4 addresses. This is a tiny website that people only access on their cell phones, so I can accept an occasional inconvenience for the marginal cost savings.
I haven't heard of anyone else doing this, but I doubt I'm completely alone in trying to minimize hosting costs.
- mobilio 2y agoIF you need IPv4 for some users like me where ISPs is IPv4 only then you can use a CloudFlare or CloudFront and expose IPv4 too.
