<p>This gives you the option to keep DNS simple via SNI, or issue a
/128 per-website.</p>
<p>Either way, you only need a single prefix now per-server, and can
issue from that.</p>
<p>Our preference is a /128 per-website for many reasons, like
FCrDNS per-domain.</p>
<p>However there's no longer a technical reason to not permit IPv6
SNI inside cPanel.</p>
<p>Frankly, any movement towards greater adoption is a good thing -
this helps. :-)</p>
<p>If clustered and configured properly, dishing out /128 addresses
is quick & easy.<br>

After meetings, back-and-forth and testing spanning over
half a year, <br>
we're glad to report that true IPv6 support has arrived in
cPanel+WHM!<br>

There's no longer the need for there to be a "server
prefix" and a <br>
separate "range prefix", they can now be nested, enabling
true SNI.<br>
<br>
Further, when enabling for sites, you can either use SNI
via the <br>
server's shared v6 addy, or issue a /128 from said prefix.<br>

Ultimately this allows for far cleaner dual-stack
deployments for the <br>
Hosting world, with no messy workarounds!<br>
<br>
This is now available on all release tiers, as v126 has
been promoted to <br>
LTS you can get going with v6 now.<br>
<br>
Many thanks to APNIC, WebPros and Global Secure Layer for
your <br>
assistance throughout these works.<br>
