Search Web HostingBurstNET Announces IPV6 Enabled Web Hosting
- By Liam Eagle, July 30, 2010
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider BurstNET (www.burst.net) announced this week that it had made Internet Protocol Version 6 available end-to-end across its entire product line.
The offer applies to the company’s dedicated servers, virtual private servers and colocation services, which, judging by the “services” section of the BurstNET website, encompasses the entirety of the company’s hosting services.
The move to IPV6 is an issue of ever-increasing urgency in hosting, telecommunications and other parts of the IT services industry, as the existing pool of IPv4 addresses grows closer to being completely depleted. Companies involved in the distribution of IP address space have been working to promote the shift, as they estimate the available pool of IPv4 addresses to be gone in approximately a year’s time.
In an interview appearing in the July issue of WHIR magazine, John Curran, CEO of the American Registry for Internet Numbers, discusses the IPV6 circumstances in detail (click here to read the digital edition).
In the press release announcing the new offering, BurstNET describes itself as “one of the first budget hosting providers to make IPv6 addressing service available end-to-end on its entire product line.”
The company says customers can use the offering to “get a head start” configuring services for IPv6, and suggests using a low-cost VPS package to learn how to configure IPv6.
