What Are IPv4 and IPv6

What Are IPv4 and IPv6?

Every website and every device on the internet needs a unique address. This is called an IP address. There are two types: IPv4 and IPv6.

IPv4 – The Current Internet Address

IPv4 is the most widely used IP format and looks like:

192.168.1.1

Due to the enormous number of connected devices worldwide, IPv4 addresses are gradually running out.

IPv6 – The Internet of the Future

IPv6 is the successor to IPv4 and looks like:

2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

IPv6 provides:

A vastly larger number of available addresses
Improved performance
Enhanced security
Support for modern technologies

At Velosite, you automatically receive both an IPv4 address and a dedicated IPv6 address. This ensures your website remains fully accessible — now and in the future.
