Besides IPV4 they had 20GB HDD and 1TB BW.
In retrospect, I regret giving up that old plan that I had with them! > Now $2.5 is available with 10GB HDD, 500GB BW and IPV6 only. You get IPV4 > for $3.5.

I've just checked and I couldn't easily see that either the $2.5 or the $3.5 plan was currently available, but perhaps I missed something. > BTW what is the downside of having IPV6 only? Perhaps interacting with your IPv4-only friends? ;-) More seriously, I believe that GitHub was IPv4-only, but this may have changed since their acquisition by Microsoft. There are a lot of sites that are still IPv4-only. (The last time that I checked, sdfeu.org, which is the EU deployment of SDF, was still IPv4-only, for no particular reason, as far as I could tell.) > Isn't it the future anyway? It depends on who you ask. :-) Yes, it's the future, but there were predictions a decade ago that IPv6 would have taken over the world by now, which is still far from being the case. C.
