This means you will get a full /64 IPv6 subnet which contains about 18446744073709551616 single IPs.
The /64 IPv6 block means you’re being assigned a full IPv6 subnet with 2^64 (18 quintillion) addresses — not just 64 individual IPs.
Not 64 addresses, ipv6 is very different from ipv4, a single /64 contains 18 quintillion ( 18,446,744,073,709,551,616) unique IP addresses.
Even though it has basically unlimited IPs, it is treated as a single IP by a lot of websites. You should also treat it as a single IP address for practicality reasons.
I would suggest reading up on Wikipedia on ipv6 in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6
It means you have 1 x IPV4 address and 1 x IPV6 /64 subnet (a range of addresses).
In IPv6, the number of hosts per range doesn't matter. What really matters is the amount of /64 subnets.

the gold medal for me is the provider with routed ipv6
I wish more websites supported IPv6. It's the future!
Many do thanks to Cloudflare (and it being extremely popular)
Routed /56 IPv6 provided is even better
If you don't know what /64 means then it's probably not relevant to your use of the vps, don't worry about it.
@russromei and would you work for a hosting provider ?
Routed /48 IPv6 provided is even better better...looking at you @Clouvider and @Francisco you're real ones for that
Since recently Skhron can offer free /48, just haven't announced yet
Do you allow nameserver delegation for the prefix? This is where buyvm really shines in how they handle the routed /48. Clouvider has no solution for adding RDNS/PTR for individual specific IPv6 addresses.
Unfortunately VirtFusion does not support it but I am completely fine configuring nameserver delegation manually until implemented by VirtFusion themselves.
also @gigahost ! and my luv @heartbeat_IT
Pretty cool of you. Good on you for being decent, seriously.
man the EU providers are kicking ass recently with competitive advantages and features
We recommend choosing a provider from the elite group of:
Routed IPv6 Hall of Fame
Include routed IPv6, at least /64 subnet, to get listed.
@webhorizon also got routed /48 on their sg server
Off topic
Waiting refuge offer for JoshIdeas $6/year 1C2G40G plan.Ping me if you do please?>
Would be cool if this was broke up into a table with who offers a routed /64, /56, /48, dns delegation, willing to announce and route customers owned / rented IPv6 prefixes with LOA. I'd love to participate in contributing my findings as I find them in any way.
/64 is the CIDR notation. You can search it on Google but understanding it properly requires some knowledge of binary. Keep in mind you should start learning CIDR and subnetting in the context IPv4 first and then, once you're comfortable, move on to IPv6.
There are plenty of great tutorials since the early days of the internet, many cover both subnetting + binary.
(You can also ask @yoursunny to teach you. he only charges $300 an hour).
@yoursunny charges $300 an hour only for base package. It includes explaining why /64 is enough, why you shouldn't give smaller subnets and why IPv6 is important in general.
There's an extra package for additional $200 where he explains routed IPv6 and IPv9.
Or just a few push-ups if you're short on cash.
People still use IPv6? I thought that fad was over.
I need an internet lecture on IPv6 and how it works.
😡
Why do providers still offer /64 prefixes but not route them?

Thank you Sir!
