Recently, due to IPv4 scarcity some large mass hosters (OVH, and soon
Hetzner) have started to charge for IP use, with pricing probably moving
from current 1 EUR/IPv4 address/month to somewhere 2-5 EUR/IPv4 address/month.
This price pressure both allows an efficient use of existing
networks (by forcing customers to relinquish unused resources)
and also will drive adoption of IPv6-only models, as these addresses
remain free, for time being.
