## TL;DR
|
|
|
|
IPv6 allows you to deploy the same things, just with less money.
|
|
And right now it get's even crazy with [up to 50%
|
|
discount](https://swiss-crowdfunder.com/campaigns/black-ipv6-friday?locale=en)
|
|
on even the already very affordable IPv6 only offers.
|
|
*Valid only until 2019-11-29*.

|
## The Black IPv6 Friday
|
|
|
|
So you have probably heard about the
|
|
Black Friday, haven you?
|
|
We want to take this to the next level with the
|
|
**Black IPv6 Friday**, which might be **the biggest discount on IPv6
|
|
only services in history**!
|
|
|
|
## IP... what?
|
|
|
|
You might have heard some things about
|
|
[IPv6](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6) already, but what you might
|
|
not know yet is that you can actually save money by using
|
|
IPv6. Significantly. But let's first have a short look what IPv6
|
|
actually is.
|
|
|
|
## The IPv6 and IPv4 Internet
|
|
|
|
IPv4 is the "old", some people even call it "legacy", Internet. It has
|
|
been in use for a while, however its
|
|
[shortage of addresses](https://ipv4.potaroo.net/)
|
|
[has become a real
|
|
problem](/u/blog/when-does-ripe-run-out-of-ipv4-addresses/). Whenever
|
|
there is a shortage, prices jump up steeply and, in the end, the
|
|
end customer has to pay that price.
|
|
|
|
To fix this problem, the successor IPv6 was designed with a huge
|
|
amount of addresses. Not an infinite number, but for everything that
|
|
we want to do in our lifetime, we could call it "almost infinite".
|
|
|
|
For many years, vendors and providers were only slowly adapting
|
|
IPv6. However with the imminent IPv4 exhaustion in 2019, the game
|
|
changed and IPv6 has become a hot topic everywhere.
|
|
|
|
## How you save money by using IPv6
|
|
|
|
And this brings us to how you can save money with IPv6: instead of
|
|
renting IPv4 addresses at home, in the office or at your cloud
|
|
provider, you can now rely on IPv6 only. There also exists support to
|
|
enable IPv6 only services to the IPv4 Internet - and that is even for
|
|
free.
|
|
|
|
## The biggest IPv6 bargain
|
|
|
|
So with all of this, one should probably be inclined to go with
|
|
IPv6. However, we just wanted to make it even easier for you to get
|
|
started and offer **up to 50% discount** on the regular offers. This
|
|
deal is available on the [crowdfunding campaign on
|
|
Swiss-Crowdfunder.com](https://swiss-crowdfunder.com/campaigns/black-ipv6-friday?locale=en).
|
|
But beware: it only gets real if the goal of 20'000 CHF is reached -
|
|
otherwise there will be a 100% refund.
