IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) as the name suggests is the sixth revised edition to the Internet Protocol and is the successor of IPv4. IPv6 is the most recent updated version after IPv4. All the devices that use the internet are using its own IP addresses and zip codes in order to mail the letter.

• The whole world was happy with IPv4 and there were around 400 crores of IPv4 addresses available to everyone in 1981.

• When more and more people started using mobile phones, devices, websites and servers. The number of IP addresses started to diminish.
• There was an increasing demand for IP addresses.
• That’s how IPv6 originated.
• At present there 340282366920938×24 Zeros IPv6 addresses.

Why is free IPv6 hosting in India?

Being the leader in the latest technology we always welcome the latest technology in India. As IPv6 is the latest technology in the queue we have introduced it to our customers absolutely free.

The major reason of providing free IPv6 hosting in India is discussed below:

1. As there is more and more usage of IPv4 availability has become much more limited and costlier.
2. We as a hosting company have to buy IPv4 at a very huge price and when we sell it to our customers, this affects the customers and company also in terms of price, Whereas the ipv6 is available for FREE of cost.
3. As we are the technology leader in India, we were the 1st one in India to introduce Ovi Panel, multilingual support, cloud linux, smart ticketing system, chat bot etc. Hence in a similar way are looking forward to promoting IPv6 in India.
4. As a company we are eager to learn new things. Hence it is like a trial run for our developers and makes our infrastructure ready for IPv6.
5. We want more and more people to know about IPv6 technology and its usage.

Note: We do not provide support for our IPv6 customers, as it is provided for free to our customers. Hence we would request you to contact your Internet server provider (ISP) if you face any issues.

Common Problems while deploying IPv6

• Current ISP does not support IPv6 – If your current ISP is not offering IPv6, you can check the following alternatives to change the ISPs:
  1. You can hire an ISP to provide a second line for IPv6 communications from your website. This method is however expensive.
  2. Getting a virtual ISP is another option as it provides the website with IPv6 but with no link.
  3. You can use a 6 to 4 tunnel over the ISP to another IPv6.
• Emails will not work with some of the ISP’s and you might face problems in sending and receiving the emails.
• In some cases even the website will not work on some ISPs and hence you might see a downtime in the website.

What happened to IPv5?

Version 5 of the IP family was an exploratory protocol formed in the 1980s. IPv5 (also called the Internet Stream Protocol) was never widely deployed, and since the number 5 was already assigned, this number was not evaluated for the beneficiary to IPv4. Several proposals were offered as the IPv4 successor, and each was allocated a number. In the end, the one with version number 6 was chosen.
