About This Feature

IPv6 VPS Hosting in the UK

IPv6 VPS hosting provides native dual-stack connectivity - a dedicated IPv4 address alongside an IPv6 /64 block - meaning your applications can serve both IPv4 and IPv6 clients without NAT64 translation overhead. As IPv6 adoption grows (particularly on mobile networks and university campus networks), dual-stack VPS hosting ensures you reach all users optimally. Our UK VPS plans include IPv6 connectivity as standard, with DDoS protection applying to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic simultaneously.

Performance on Glitch VPS plans is driven by AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors - single-core clock speeds that handle application workloads, database queries, and concurrent web traffic without the CPU credit limits that cap performance on burstable cloud instances. Storage runs on NVMe Gen4 drives with sequential read speeds of 3,500 MB/s, eliminating the I/O bottleneck that affects VPS plans running on SATA SSD or shared SAN.

Glitch Servers operates AS212868 with direct peering at LINX and LONAP - the London Internet Exchange and London Access Point - providing low-latency paths to BT, Virgin Media, Sky, TalkTalk, and other major UK ISPs without unnecessary Continental European hops. For users connecting across the UK, that translates to consistent single-digit-to-low-double-digit millisecond round-trip times under normal UK network conditions.

Every plan includes Corero Smartwall inline DDoS mitigation operating at the network edge. Traffic scrubbing runs continuously without latency penalty, absorbing volumetric floods before they reach the hypervisor layer. Full plan specifications and pricing are on the UK VPS hosting page. 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.

External resources: LINX (London Internet Exchange) and RIPE NCC (European IP registry).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Each VPS includes a /64 IPv6 block (18 quintillion addresses), assigned from our AS212868 allocation. Addresses are routable and DDoS-protected.
Most applications bind to 0.0.0.0 (IPv4) or :: (all interfaces including IPv6). For Nginx: listen [::]:443 ssl; listen 443 ssl; - this dual-stacks Nginx on a single socket. Check application docs for IPv6 bind options.
Yes. Our DDoS mitigation applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. Attacks on IPv6 addresses are scrubbed at the network edge the same way as IPv4 attacks.
