Thanks. Fortunately I've a static IP.

Using a different IP than your home network might be a good idea ?

( Your ISP should give you at least a /56 : https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-690 )

It'd be helpful for others if you clarified whether you're asking a question or making a statement.

Let's say that I am considering this too, have looked a bit into it, but I am not a network engineer, and haven't done it yet, so I am not sure how good that advice is ?

I guess this depends a LOT your ISP, and especially the router they gave you, how much IPv6-only friendly are they ?

Yes, you can buy your own router, but this come with even more complications and potentially negotiations with the ISP.

I'm starting to notice you end statements with question marks, which solves my previous question.

i concur it is unclear and hard to understand the intention.

What is unclear about question marks indicating uncertainty, especially after I explained it ?

(And to be extra clear, this question mark indicates a question, albeit a rhetorical one.)

Funny man thinking ISPs everywhere just give IPv6 willy-nilly.

Even funnier that you think you'd even be accessible if you put your website on IPv6 only

I have a few personal things hosted on IPv6-only just for giggles. A few years ago those things would almost never be reachable. Now I can reach them at most places. I at least have IPv6 on cellular connectivity all the time.

Before long, not supporting IPv6 will make your website more unreachable than not supporting IPv4. (Already the case in Asia ?)
