@DediRock Do we have to send in ticket to have ipv6? Also, possible to not have my VPS recreated (like someone mentioned in other post here) for ipv6 to be activated? That will awesome!
OK but can we talk about the two hour downtime to deploy this? I get that $7 a year isn't going to get me much in terms of uptime, but that's a really long outage just to change some networking configuration.
Hey @ctdv yup dual stack for sure.

Hey @boomboomstart, after purchase just hit us up on the threads or you can put in a ticket, either way well get it done.
Thx
Hey @greyhound no tunneling, we have them directly assigned to the nodes. Thanks
yeah you're right it would definitely have looked cleaner if I've done it that way, thanks for that.
Hey @truemagic yeah you can either put in a ticket or just hit us up on the thread, we can add it no problem. No that might have been a one-off, I think there was one or two customers where either they did not want to wait till this coming Sunday to get IPv6 so I just offered to make them a new server so they could have it now on a node that does offer IPv6. So once it's available on all current servers, we can just add it right away
Thank you!!
Hey @wheresalice ya downtime is a bummer, so the downtime is because the servers are actually physically being moved to a new rack, so that is the reason for the extended time. Sorry for the trouble on it.

Please help me switch to a VPS that supports IPv6 in advance so I don’t have to wait until Sunday to get it. 🙏
Sorry for being late to the party. Does this also mean that Reverse DNS records for IPv6 can be set?
Will you treat an IPv6 outage with the same priority as an IPv4 outage? Does your monitoring also check IPv6 uptime?
That's great. It's the first time that I hear Colocrossing now natively supports IPv6.
Yo, that one is not coming up for me, what's the invoice number please? I send out a new one for you.
Thx
all good man, ya for sure. Just put in a ticket and well handle. of course we'll handle it with the same priority, but what do you mean are we actively checking if there's any IPv6 addresses down?
Invoice #12944
In this case, I think it's ok because the user just needs to know if the first part of their IP matches. I think using CIDR notation will get tickets from the non technical users, for which I think there will be lots.
Super awesome!!
Ready to be powered by ipv6 for below invoices/orders!!
Invoice #11092
Invoice #12357
Thank you so much!
Cool thanks, no data to save? Ok to remove current one? Thx
Hey @truemagic ! this is done
thx!
yes
yes
Hello, I also want to enable ipv6 first
Invoice #12159
yoohooo.. congratulation
any ETA how vps can up again after maintenance? i wait 13 hours ago after estimated 2 hours maintenance
My storage VPS has been down for 18 hours and counting due to the 2 hours of scheduled down time. I opened a ticket at the 10 hour mark, and it took another five hours just to get a reply saying they'd look into it. No updates since. Meanwhile, their network status page still claims:
Cheap is great, until uptime and support fall apart. At some point, reliability has to matter.
@DediRock - any ETA for that IPv6? In the notification e-mail message you literally told us to contact you in this thread after the maintenance window. So far there is no IPv6 being added (no /64 and not even a /128). Others seem to be complaining about the same aspect, including downtimes.
I am curious what happened. If I were to guess, I would assume /64 got nulled by abusers as you were trying to implement /128 onto every service
but I don't know, so this is why I kindly ask for some info if possible.

I think this could have been handled better with less downtime, not having to raise a ticket to get IPv6 addresses added, and those IPv6 addresses actually working after being added. And lets be honest, the downtime was clearly not related to the IPv6 implementation, the addition of IPv6 is just the sweetener for us to accept the downtime.
That said, now all of that's been done, the network latency on my VPS is so much better than it used to be. You can clearly see on my monitoring graphs when all of this happened because the spikes of 4 second load times have gone and I now have a nice smooth line hovering around 300ms.
I was about ready to leave, but my VPS is actually in a decent state now.
For anyone else approaching two full days of downtime, here is the email message I received:
Their stated SLA uptime is 99.9%, which allows for approximately 8.76 hours of downtime per year. At this rate, it will take years of uninterrupted uptime to return to that benchmark.
I tried to check the status of my ticket and it seems their site is now down.
Looks like things are going the wrong way.
So, is it possible to enable IPv6 without recreating the VPS?
Could you share some instructions for that, or is it something that needs to be done on your side?
Hey @boomboomstart sorry I missed this communication, all is okay now? We got this all handled on the other thread ya?
Thx
