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?"

"Yes, if we don't have it, we can't reach ~60% of the world's Internet users."

Maybe 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.

Or if you’re putting Cloudflare or another CDN in front anyway

Why 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.

OP is talking about VPS servers someone _other_ (eg. Hetzner) runs, I think.

Hetzner 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.
