World IPv6 day is on June 8, 2011. On this date for 24 hours, many major IPv4-only sites will be temporarily offering their content over IPv6. Some of them have already adopted IPv6, but are not publishing AAAA records for their primary well-known domain. For example: www.google.com has IPv6 at ipv6.google.com www.facebook.com has IPv6 at [...]

Added NTP Servers to Server List
We had one of our colo customers ask if we had NTP servers. Yes, we do! But we didn’t have them listed in the account control center, so we’ve corrected that oversight. Our NTP servers will answer on IPv4 and IPv6.
APNIC First to Run Out of IPv4 Addresses

IPv6 Dynamic DNS Now Available
We’ve released a minor update to our Dynamic DNS client to support IPv6. We’ve been working on this on and off for the last few months but didn’t really put any kind of rush on it because we didn’t believe that there was any demand for such a service. Today though a question about IPv6 [...]
Global Crossing IPv6 Trouble
An issue with a customer’s IPv6 access was brought to our attention this morning. After some basic testing, it was apparent the traceroutes were stopping at our Global Crossing PE router (provider side) and we opened a trouble ticket with them to investigate. A few hours later we discovered that the RIPE website was unreachable. [...]
