ip -6 addr add $PREFIX::1/64 dev xenbr0
ip route add default via fe80::1 dev xenbr0

You put something like the above in /etc/network/interfaces or whatever to 
configure addresses on Hetzner.  Note that something different will be needed 
on other ISPs.

That would be profiteering, allocate only a few and charge extra for more 
addresses.  An ISP that had a single /64 shared with all it's customers could 
easily allocate a /96 to every customer and never run out - no ISP is likely 
to get 2^32 customers.

But I think Digital Ocean has bigger issues than a lack of IPv6 addresses.
