Hell has finally frozen over.  Pigs have begun to fly.  ColoCrossing has enabled IPv6 on all services.

Lack of IPv6 has been a long-running joke in the LowEnd community, and ColoCrossing has taken a lot of ribbing over the years about the lack of IPv6.  But you can tease them no longer!

ColoCrossing is proud to announce that IPv6 is now available across our entire network infrastructure in all of our prime data center locations. This upgrade represents a key step forward in ensuring that our customers have the resources they need to scale and adapt in today’s ever-changing internet landscape.

With the global exhaustion of IPv4 resources, businesses are increasingly seeking solutions that allow them to expand without limitation. IPv6 provides virtually unlimited IP address availability, along with improved routing, more efficient network communication, and enhanced security features. By enabling IPv6 across all ColoCrossing locations, we’re ensuring that our customers have access to the tools necessary to future-proof their deployments.

Our clients can now take advantage of IPv6 connectivity alongside IPv4, creating a dual-stack environment that supports both current and next-generation needs. This ensures seamless compatibility while offering greater flexibility for growth, especially for organizations deploying applications that demand scalable and reliable IP resources.
