I have VPS hosting with ipv6, I am seeing this line in my hosting control panel

Code: 
2706:5f00:XXX::XXXX:XXXX/64
I don't understand meaning of /64 in the line above. Does it mean that my VPS has more than one IPV6 address?

IPv6 is sized and allocated very differently from IPv4

Your host is giving you a /64 subnet of IPv6 addresses (Wich is considered 1 LAN). This equates to 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IPv6 addresses.

A /64 block is enough to give an IP address to every known network capable device in the world and then some. A /48 is just just like 1000 /64 allocations. BTW, if you didn't know, the highest assignable IP address is /64. A single IP would be a /128.

- Hope that helps
