For my part. When I first discovered Vultr [0] had a low-tier
cloud-compute VM option (public v6 + NAT44) it certainly changed my
behavior as a pro-sumer.

I would prefer if more hosting providers moved down this path by default.

↪ IPv6 /56-/64 prefix by default.
↪ IPv4 address for $0.5 - $1 per address per VM.
