If you want to serve web pages to most of the world, you have to have an IPv4 address, and that will continue until IPv6 adoption is well above 50%. Yes, there are places offering discounts for no-IPv4, such as lowendspirit. I have one. I have to bounce through another shell account to get to it as neither my home ISP nor workplace supports IPv6.

Above 50%? The threshold for not supporting IPv4 would be far higher than that. Think about how long it took to for companies to stop supporting IE6 when there was still only residual usage. The effect of not supporting IPv4 would be far worse as well - not just a buggy looking site, but zero functionality.
