"minor virtual server host". I think you are underestimating things...

https://bgp.he.net/AS24940 + AS213230

That is not a toy network... but hey, I guess 'everything is bigger' on 
the other side of the big old lake eh.

I am sure, considering the news and rumors, that that pricing change

changing, and that is a win for IPv6...

But hey, YMMV.
