Hello WG, I have a question for those of you that offer some kind of hosting. Do you charge your customers extra for IPv4 or IPv6 addresses? And if you have changed your policy on that recently, did that change your customers behaviour regarding their choice on ordering and publishing IPv4 / IPv6 addresses for the hosted services? Reason for asking: At our own hosting services we started out offering dual stack by default some 6 years ago, moved to ipv6-only by default about 2 years ago and since about one year we are charging extra for IPv4 addresses. This has led to a change in behaviour in our customer base, and I want to see if others are seeing similar changes or a different situation. You can reply off-list and I will summarize the results to the group. Please state if I should mention your name in the summary. Greetings, Wolfgang Zenker -- punkt.de GmbH Tel. +49 721 9109-500 Fax: -100 .infrastructure info@punkt.de https://infrastructure.punkt.de/ Kaiserallee 13a CEO: Jürgen Egeling, Daniel Lienert, Fabian Stein D-76133 Karlsruhe AG Mannheim HRB 108285

For my part. When I first discovered Vultr [0] had a low-tier cloud-compute VM option (public v6 + NAT44) it certainly changed my behavior as a pro-sumer. I would prefer if more hosting providers moved down this path by default. ↪ IPv6 /56-/64 prefix by default. ↪ IPv4 address for $0.5 - $1 per address per VM.
