		Sesse__ on Dec 7, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Tell HN: IPv6-only still pretty much unusable That's not insane, that's pretty cheap. If you buy IPv4 addresses in bulk (e.g. an entire /18 or so), they're ~$40 a piece these days. When you buy cloud services from AWS or GCE, you're still paying for those IPv4 addresses, it's just baked into the price. Hetzner makes paying for it optional, which makes it so much more visible.

It is an insane price for renting an IP address. It's not like you get to keep the IP address when you move elsewhere.

This isn't buying, this is renting. You are paying that setup fee + the monthly fee.

As a comparison, I pay ~$1.60/ip/mo (no setup fee) for my IPs.
