IPv4 & IPv6 support
This guide details the compatibility of our hosting with IPv4 and IPv6.
IPv4 or IPv6?
IPv4, or Internet Protocol version 4 , is the first version of the Internet Protocol that has been widely used since the 1980s. It uses 32-bit IP addresses, which helps identify and locate devices connected to the Internet. However, with the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, it became necessary to develop a new version.
- Example IPv4 address: 192.168.0.1
- In this example, the IPv4 address is made up of four groups of numbers separated by periods. Each group can contain a number from 0 to 255. The address 192.168.0.1 is often used to represent a local IP address in a private network.
IPv6, or Internet Protocol version 6 , is the latest version of the Internet protocol introduced to solve the problem of IPv4 address exhaustion. IPv6 uses 128-bit IP addresses, providing virtually unlimited address space. It also offers enhanced features such as security, quality of service, and automatic address configuration.
- Example IPv6 address: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
- In this example, the IPv6 address is made up of eight groups of numbers and letters separated by colons. Each group can contain a hexadecimal number from 0 to FFFF. The IPv6 address is much longer than the IPv4 address, thus providing a much larger address space.
Compatibility with IPv4 and IPv6 means that our hosting service allows your website to be accessible by both users using IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This ensures that your site can be visited by all types of devices and networks, providing an optimal experience for your users, regardless of the protocol they use to connect to the Internet.
