Overview

IPv6 addresses can be added to domains hosted in GreggHost’s panel. IPv6 has a number of advantages, one of which is that it has a far larger pool of IP addresses than IPv4, which is rapidly becoming obsolete.

GreggPress subdomains and sites on dreamhosters.com are unable to use unique IP addresses.

Adding an IPv6 address

While there is a fee for adding an IPv4 address, there is no fee for adding an IPv6 address because there are still enough of addresses available.

To add an IPv6 address, follow these steps:

Go to the Manage Domains section.
Link to IPv6.png
Under your domain, click the UniqueIP option.
IPv6.png
The IPv6 Settings tab should be selected.
To add an IPv6 address to your domain, click the Add IPv6 IP Now option.
You’ll be sent back to the ‘Manage Domains’ page after adding the IPv6 address, where you’ll see the new address assigned to the specified domain or subdomain:
IPv6 address
Select the red ‘X’ next to the IP to remove it.

Testing an IPv6

There are several methods for determining whether an IPv6 address is live and responding.

Send a message to the address
To test your hostname, use the ping command. Consider the following scenario:

[server]

example.com $ ping6
example.com ping (example.com) 64 bytes from example.com: icmp seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.302 ms 64 bytes from example.com: icmp seq=2 ttl=63 time=0.718 ms 64 bytes from example.com: icmp seq=3 ttl=63 time=0.718 ms 64 bytes from example.com: icmp seq=4 ttl=63 time=0.340 ms 64 bytes from example.com: icmp seq=4 ttl=63 time=0.843 ms 64 bytes from example.com: icmp seq=5 ttl=63 time=0.592 ms 64 bytes from example.com: icmp seq=5 ttl=63 time=0.592 ms

—- ping statistics for example.com —-
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.302/0.559/0.843/0.210 ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.302/0.559/0.843/0.210 ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.302/0.559/0.843/0.210 ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev =
You may also ping IPv6 using an online tool. Consider the following scenario:

www.subnetonline.com/pages/ipv6-network-tools/online-ipv6-ping.php
centralops.net/co/Ping.aspx
Use the dig command to see if the IP address resolves to [server].
2607:f298:4:152::3d1:2cb7 $ dig +short AAAA example.com
You’ll see the IP address react if it’s resolving.
