    Default IPv6

    My sense of things is that IPv6 is coming a little more rapidly than forecasted some years ago. While I'm more than sure you have begun anticipating the change, I wonder as a layman what this will mean for customers.

    In addition to updating DNS entries at the registrar, what other considerations should one begin to ponder? Thanks in advance.

    As far as customers are concerned, it really doesn't mean much. While IPv6 is already being used to some extent, it will still be quite a while before it really catches on. We'll be plenty ready when the time comes.

    Default IPv6 Update

    Any update on Dathorn's status regarding IPv6? Not that I have any customer's in India but there are some locations now that only offer IPv6 addresses.

    IPv4 will be around for quite some time as the transition occurs. Adoption of IPv6, especially with mainstream ISPs, is still quite low.

    Our network has (officially) supported IPv6 since January 2009. The only real remaining hurdle as far as us offering IPv6 addresses is cPanel. They're working on making it compatible and I'm sure it will be ready in plenty of time as they don't really have any choice in the matter. Nothing to worry about really.

    Understood. I'm afraid that is not an option at this time. The cPanel compatibility just isn't there yet.
