Not Enough Addresses

Internet experts warn that we will be running out of Internet address towards the end of 2011.  When the Internet was first created, there were only four billion ip address allotted based on a 4 (IPv4) format.  With the pontification of smarphones, cell phones, and online gadgets, the number of available ip addresses is running out.

The solution is to switch to a IPv6 format but everyone has to switch to it.  There are also new hardware and systems that have to be converted to make the changes.  The problems is that not everyone is moving quickly to make the switch.  So until every company and businesses makes the change, under the current system, we will run out of ip addresses in the near future.

Don’t worry this does not however concern the domain name sector.
