Meanwhile, Hetzner just added a staggering $19/address setup fee and a soon doubling of prices for IPv4 addresses from them ostensibly due to the rising costs of getting addresses, yet still has virtually no support for IPv6 on their offerings outside of a /64 per dedicated server.

Why would you need anything other than a /64 on your server?

Maybe they mean that things like flexible/assignable ips and load balancers aren't available on v6.

Because IPv6 was designed with mobility in mind? .... oh, wait.. that is the IPv6 in fairy tales.

Huh? I've been using IPv6 on their cloud instances for years, and it works just perfect.

How is a /64 per dedicated server no support?

You also get a /64 on their cloud servers, one subnet per project iirc.

/64 seems pretty standard, unfortunately. It's what I get on OVH. There's also way worse providers, like Digital Ocean with a /124, and LightSail with /128.

This is what we need to encourage IPv6 adoption and conservation of existing digital resources.

Is it? If the major cloud providers are siphoning off IPv4 space to create a monopoly, and 2nd tier cloud providers are raising prices due to the cost of IPv4 acquisition due to scarcity, there’s a real chance market forces migrate customers away from the 2nd tier as their costs rise.
