Yes, I'm using IPv6 on almost all my servers, even if it's a bad idea to use IPv6 with a mail server because almost all of them are blacklisted by default due to the huge amount of IPs available. But to run a website, it work fine.

Why IPv6? Because fast internet.

IPv6 is faster for two reasons. The first is that many major operating systems and browsers like iOS, MacOS, Chrome and Firefox impose anywhere from a 25ms to 300ms artificial delay on connections made over IPv4. The second is that some mobile networks won't need to perform extra v4 -> v6 and v6 -> v4 translations to connect visitors to IPv6 enabled sites if the phone is only assigned an IPv6 address. (IPv6-only phones are becoming very common. If you have a phone on T-Mobile, Telstra, SK Telecom, Orange, or EE UK, to name a few, it's likely you're v6-only.)

We were using IPv6 earlier even for our own website, but some clients had problem accessing website on IPV6 as their ISP was assigning V6 but were not properly configured and sometimes due to it they were not able to access our website so we disabled V6 on our own site, but we do provide Free IPV6 with our VPS and Dedicated Servers if client asks for it
