My ISP won’t give me more IPv4 Addresses. Can I use IPv6 only for my servers?


Yes, you sure can.  We’re seeing this more and more. IPv4 addresses are near exhaustion and they are becoming scarce. Some ISPs and hosting companies are now charging handsomely for them, others are simply not giving them out anymore.

Well, you need not fear at Total Uptime because we make it easy. You can place IPv6 only servers behind an IPv4 load balancer or WAF without issue. This allows you to distribute traffic to as many IPv6 enabled servers on the back-end as you want, without having to fear increased cost or scarcity because IPv6 is available in abundance.

If you have any questions about how this might work, feel free to contact support or your technical account manager. We’re here to help!
