VR is fully dual stack support throughout their network and a good bunch of g=
uys.
With LINODE, they're mixed since some of the colos they are in have IPv6 (li=
ke HE, for example) and some don't. So if you go with LINODE, make sure they=
know to put you in a location with IPv6. (note this may be out of date and t=
hey may have IPv6 everywhere by now, as I know they were working on it)
To the best of my knowledge, both provide excellent services at competitive p=
rices. There's a soft spot in my heart for VR because I have done some work f=
or them and I like the two guys that run it.
