Cpanel IPv6 Implementation Update

State of IPv6 in cPanel & WHM

IPv4 IP allocation depletion is somewhat analogous to Y2K. The solution is essentially the same, except instead of going from 2 to 4 decimal digits in a year, we’re going from 32 to 128 binary digits in IP addresses while still supporting the old system. cPanel & WHM will continue to support IPv4 for the foreseeable future by means of a “dual-stack implementation” which includes support for IPv6 addresses while still accommodating IPv4 addresses.
