The cloud provider problem is definitely real. I have an idea for a service that requires both IPv4 and IPv6, but Linode and Rackspace were the two I found that both support native IPv6. Otherwise, it's something involving a HE.net tunnel, which I'm not comfortable with for more than experimental use.
- deathanatos 12y agoA note on Rackspace: we see about 2–3% of the VMs we allocate come with only an IPv4 address. We have no idea why — we suspect it's a bug on Rackspace's side (we allocate everything automatically, through the same code path, so it isn't us!). We currently only use the IPv4 address (I know, I know!), but it does present a bit of a problem when/if we decide to move.
- oasisbob 12y agoRackspace also doesn't support IPv6 if you use RackConnect, which is a bummer.
- thedude75 12y agoHi there! I work at Rackspace and I'd love to get our product engineers involved and review this issue for you. Would it be possible for you to email your account number and any pertinent server information (hostname/IP address/etc) to help@rackspace.com so that we can investigate? Thanks!

- teepo 12y agoSoftLayer has supported IPv6 for years. All their servers have IPv6 enabled.
- btgeekboy 12y agoThanks for the info. I'd not remembered them in my search.
