About 3.70/month. Not great, not terrible
It will add tens of dollars to enterprise infrastructure costs!
Other providers will start charging more, the US and Europe have ALL ipv4 allocated now. So, yes the cost of a scarce resource goes... Up
Most of the big websites are on ipv6. Twitter isn't (but is that anyone's loss?). I think the only way we can all make sure the stragglers move to ipv6 is if we all leave an ISP that doesn't offer it.
After all these years it really should be the dominant stack.
That's a really stupid thing for that ISP to do. It doesn't make sense. IPv6 costs them virtually nothing, yes the real IP costs them. But they're stretching out the time they need to provide it by putting conditions behind the ipv6 allocation.
Look up in this thread and just get an ipv6 tunnel, I used tunnels for 5 years between 2011 and 2015, until my ISP provided IPv6. While bigger businesses aren't going to go ipv6 only any time soon, I think smaller server operators might just do that to save money. When the cost of the IP becomes a larger part of the cost of the service.
Yeah. I pay like 3.50 for my lightsail instance that I host my pihole on. Are they really going to double that for my public ipv4?
I'm running the smallest linux instance in US West 2, I believe. 512mb RAM, 1 core processor. More than enough for pihole+wiregurd
which package are you on? i've been wanting something like that
But that’s as high as the meter…..
