IPV6 deployment and the readyness of WHMCS.com, and WHMCS itself.

[khinton]

Hi everyone.

I wanted to force this to be related to WHMCS in some way so I decided to include the entire whmcs.com domain.

I have a concern that I share regarding not only WHMCS.com, but PayPal.com, and so many other sites that I need to voice that general concern ehre.

That concern being the deployment and being prepared for IPV6.

As you folks know, IPV6 is a new Internet protocol.

I'm curious to know if WHMCS.com, and WHMCS itself will be prepared for this deployment?

I'm wondering how this deployment will work for the transition.

I was thinking at some point that if WHMCS.com and so on is not ready for IPV6, then won't my licenses die?

I was just wanting to get that off my chest, and see what others have to say about it.

While this is a general discussion forum, I wanted to bring WHMCS.com and WHMCS software up as these two system sdo work together.

Licenses need to go out to whmcs.com to validate every seven days, etc.

Any replies from WHMCS.com managers would be appreicated, or anyone who can state one way or the other on the IPV6 plans.

Does WHMCS software even have native IPV6 support?

Thanks!

As far as I know none of the major control panel is IPv6 ready. So I'm guess whmcs is waiting for them them to deploy it first ?

Plesk 10.2 and 10.3 supports IPv6 as it happens.

I believe now that I think about it, DirectAdmin also supports IPV6. What that doesn't answer is the primary question's I've put forth. Does WHMCS have IPV6 support? I did stumble on a thread that I didn't know about that was apparently for the support of IPV6.

We've been using ipv6 and cpanel for years

And whmcs works fine over v6 for client orders etc

- the calls out to maxmind and so on are still done through v4 as they dont yet support it.

First off, IPv6 is not new. Its been around for over 15 years. Second, 99% of what WHMCS does will not be affected by the IPv6 migration. Most of the communication is lie on the web server side. Most of the major web servers fully support IPv6, and have for a long time. Lastly, the change over to IPv6 will not be instantaneous. There will be a period of time where IPv6 and IPv4 will co-exist together for portability and to give app designers time to modify their code in a live environment.

 

Something like WHMCS would be fairly easy to change over.. Now you start getting into banking applications that handle millions of transactions every day, now you're talking about some serious implications.
