Good idea. We’ll probably do that soon. -jdw

If we can have a IPV6 address on a site by site basis, would this mean that we would be able to have our very own SSL certs?

It might someday mean that. -jdw

We were afraid to bring up IPv6 on the members.nearlyfreespeech.net name, because it would cause lousy performance for people on seedy tunnel brokers who pref IPv6 over IPv4 over the same name, which I think is most people at this stage of IPv6 deployment. (I think the same reasoning is behind ipv6.google.com.) I personally had quite a bit of trouble with exactly that at home using the Airport Extreme default IPv6 setup, but then I switched to the Hurricane Electric tunnel broker. Now my IPv6 at home flies and is totally usable. Highly recommended.

I would like it if assigning an IPv6 address on a site-by-site or alias-by-alias basis was an option by the end of the year, but I’m certainly not going to guarantee that at this early stage.

Also, just to let people know… As warned, I did have to delete a couple of comments that were about unrelated issues, like the recent DDOS attack. If you have questions about or problems with our service, please feel free to post in our member forums or submit a secure support request.

Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX; expires=Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:42:23 GMT; path=/; domain=.members.nearlyfreespeech.net; secure; HttpOnly

I’m pretty excited about this feature; as far as I can tell NFS would be one of the first serious web hosts to support IPv6! 🙂
