Dual-Stack VPS Hosting UK
Dedicated IPv4 address and native /64 IPv6 block on every UK VPS - both protocols, one plan
Dedicated IPv4 address and native /64 IPv6 block on every UK VPS - both protocols, one plan
About This Feature
Dual-Stack VPS Hosting UK from Glitch Servers provides virtual private servers with both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity configured from the moment your server deploys - no additional steps, no tunnel setup, no extra cost. Every plan includes a dedicated IPv4 address and a routed /64 IPv6 block announced natively from AS212868. Dual-stack means your server simultaneously handles both protocols. Clients connecting over IPv4 reach your application on the IPv4 interface; modern clients using IPv6 (now the default on mobile networks, many ISPs, and all major cloud providers) reach the same application on the IPv6 interface - served from the same server, the same application instance, without any additional load balancer or proxy in front. Applications that bind to 0.0.0.0 (all IPv4 interfaces) will need to also bind to :: (all IPv6 interfaces), or use a dual-stack bind. Nginx, Apache, and most modern frameworks support dual-stack with a single listen directive - listen [::]:443 in Nginx handles both protocols on a dual-stack host. Our VPS platform runs KVM with a bridged network interface, meaning your VM sees a standard virtual ethernet adapter with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses assigned - no special drivers or kernel modules required. The /64 block gives you 18 quintillion addresses, enough to assign unique IPv6 addresses to individual containers, microservices, or application components if your architecture benefits from that. DDoS scrubbing operates on both stacks. PTR records are configurable. Additional /64 blocks are available at no charge, subject to RIPE justification. Traffic from every server passes through Juniper MX204 edge routers and Juniper EX top-of-rack switches - a consistent, enterprise-grade switching and routing stack rather than a mix of commodity hardware.
Key Benefits
Every plan includes these capabilities as standard - no tier-gating, no hidden extras.
Dedicated IPv4 + routed /64 IPv6 on every plan - both protocols active from provisioning, no configuration required at the network level.
Native BGP announcement from AS212868 - your IPv6 addresses are real, routable, and take optimal paths to LINX/LONAP peered networks without tunnel overhead.
DDoS scrubbing on both stacks - volumetric attacks on IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are mitigated at the network edge, not at your server.
KVM full virtualisation with bridged networking - your VM sees a standard dual-stack interface; no special drivers, no NAT, no port mapping required.
Technical Specifications
Real specs on real hardware - not marketing numbers.
IPv4: dedicated /32 (1 address); additional IPs available on request
IPv6: /64 block (18 quintillion addresses); native BGP from AS212868
Additional IPv6: extra /64 blocks at no charge; /48+ with RIPE justification
Use Cases
This feature is particularly well suited to these workloads and teams.
Web applications and APIs that need to serve the growing share of IPv6-only clients - mobile networks and major ISPs increasingly default to IPv6 for new connections, making dual-stack mandatory for full reach.
Docker and Kubernetes deployments where each container or pod benefits from a unique IPv6 address - a /64 block provides enough addresses to assign one per container without NAT complications.
Origin servers behind CDNs that require IPv6 connectivity for edge-to-origin communication - native IPv6 with no tunnel overhead ensures CDN providers that prefer IPv6 fetch paths see optimal latency.
