Depends on the provider. Most of the time (if done correctly) you should get your own /64 IPv6 subnet. That is if IPv6 is offered with your service. Since this is millions of addresses, you probably won't ever need to order additional addresses and therefore is usually not offered as an add-on to a service.
Some providers offer IPv6 upon request so you may need to put in a ticket to get allocated IP's.
Does that mean i can also order multiple /64 ipv6 on top of the 1 /64 i am supplied with? I don't plan to use all the millions of address but i only want 1 ip out of the subnet. So multiple 1 /64
Is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IP addresses not enough :P?
for my next project i will need 18,446,744,073,709,551,617 addresses :X
@ucxo
It's not enough for anything beyond the most basic IPv6 use.
If you were to lease a /48 that's many /64 and generally, it's cheap, for instance, i could do a /48 for £3/y but there are lots of providers that offer this.
OP rolls deep.
What's your use case for wanting / needing multiple subnets in one location?
Why would you need more /64 ?
As you're asking this question I don't really believe you have a technical use case?
Each server should have a /64. If that server hosts VPSes I'd recommend using a /56 unless serious overselling and a /48 is probably the next standard block size.
A /48 would be necessary to run a LES box. The other reason as you know is mailing and other dodgy shit.
