OBHost provides IPv6 support across all its data center locations, with availability varying by region. Most locations offer /112 IPv6 subnets with every VPS package, while one location currently provides single IPv6 addresses with subnet expansion in development. Reverse DNS (rDNS) configuration is available upon request at all facilities.
IPv6 Availability by Data Center Location
Understanding IPv6 support is essential when choosing a hosting location for your VPS. OBHost operates multiple data centers globally, each with specific IPv6 configurations tailored to regional infrastructure capabilities.
Multan, Punjab, Pakistan
This location currently offers partial IPv6 support. Customers can receive individual IPv6 addresses for their VPS instances. While full subnet allocation is not yet available, OBHost is actively working with the facility to enable /112 subnet assignments in the near future. Reverse DNS support is available on request for configured addresses.
Munich, Bavaria, Germany
Every VPS in this location includes a /112 IPv6 subnet by default. If your project requires additional IPv6 address space, larger subnets are available upon request. Reverse DNS configuration is supported for all IPv6 addresses and can be set up by contacting the support team.
Frankfurt, Germany
Similar to the Munich facility, Frankfurt provides a /112 IPv6 subnet with each VPS deployment. Expanded subnet allocations are available on demand for customers with specific networking requirements. Reverse DNS functionality is supported and can be configured as needed.
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
The Montreal data center includes a /112 IPv6 subnet with every VPS package. Additional subnet space can be requested for applications requiring more extensive IPv6 addressing. Reverse DNS support is available upon request through the standard support channels.
Warsaw, Poland
VPS customers in Warsaw receive a /112 IPv6 subnet as part of their standard service. Larger subnet allocations are available for customers who need them. Reverse DNS configuration is supported and can be set up by submitting a request to the support team.
Understanding IPv6 Subnet Sizes
A /112 subnet provides 65,536 individual IPv6 addresses, which is sufficient for most hosting applications and development environments. This allocation allows you to assign unique IPv6 addresses to multiple services, containers, or virtual machines within your VPS infrastructure.
For projects requiring more extensive address space, such as large-scale application deployments or complex network architectures, OBHost can accommodate custom subnet requests. Contact the team with details about your specific requirements, and they will work to provide an appropriate allocation.
Reverse DNS Configuration
Reverse DNS (rDNS) maps an IP address back to a domain name and is particularly important for email servers and other services where reputation matters. All OBHost data centers support rDNS configuration for IPv6 addresses.
To set up reverse DNS for your IPv6 addresses, submit a request to the support team specifying which addresses need rDNS records and the corresponding domain names. The team will configure the necessary PTR records in the appropriate reverse DNS zones.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all OBHost VPS packages include IPv6 addresses?
Yes, all VPS packages include IPv6 support. Most locations provide a /112 subnet by default, while the Multan location currently offers individual IPv6 addresses with subnet support coming soon.
How do I request additional IPv6 subnets?
Contact the support team at support@obhost.org with details about your subnet requirements. Specify the location of your VPS and how many addresses you need, and the team will assist with the allocation process.
