Cpanel implemented support for shared ipv6 in version 54, but still need to manually activate domain by domain.
Since i set up shared tipv6, at least in the new created domains should already come with it shared ipv6 active.
Support for IPv6 address as Main Shared IP
Open Discussion
As a webhosting provider using IPv6 I would like to be able to have a primary shared IPv6 address (as root or a as reseller) assigned to all virtualhosts automatically, rather than having to manually configure them to be configured with the IPv6 address.
I like this idea 
cPanel, WebHost Manager and WHM are registered trademarks of cPanel, L.L.C. for providing its computer software that facilitates the management and configuration of Internet web servers.
very simple, the listen task has to change from:
mail dovecot: * to *, [::]
apache: from listen ipV4adres to listen *
nginx (if running apachebooster): from listen 80; to listen [::]:80;
etc,etc,

Can't believe this isn't standard. Please implement this!
Obvs theres meant to be enough ipv6 address to go around, but the point of cPanel is mainly for provision of shared/reseller hosting services, which will be sharing ipv4 addresses. If existing webhosts want to offer ipv6 support for their vhosts, they need to be able to apply an ipv6 address to existing vhosts sharing an ipv4 address!!
Please implement, myself and i'm sure many web hosts cannot offer proper ipv6 support to customers until this is an option!

Most hosting providers will assign a number of IPv6 addresses per single IPv4 address.
With that said, even with the ability for each account to have it's own IPv6, there will be many who will need to have a shared IPv6 for various reasons.
This should be a standard feature of IPv6 on cPanel, and I believe that it should not have had IPv6 support released without it..

Cpanel has SNI support...but....
it's working perfect on ipv4.....
but on ipv6: the shared ipv6 adres is missing in the vhost....
it's no feature request, it's a bug in the SNI implementation
the ipv6 implementation is far behind, and only semi-finished..
still waiting for a finish

I think that this request is similiar as http://features.cpanel.net/responses/ipv6-only-and-services-support

Pick up your game cPanel. You have a number of cheaper and free alternatives that can do this.

2 year..... and the httpd.conf vhost config:
<VirtualHost xx.xxx.xx.xxx:443>
Only the ipv4 shared adres in the vhosts.. nu dualstack... ;-(

This feature is very important, the main competitor of the cpanel support this feature!
Many of these servers run in cloud platforms, which provide a limited amount of IPs, it is impossible to dedicate one for each domain!
It's easy to implement this! The Cpanel has left out some very important things lately! Like Full SNI support and DNSSec

Thanks all for your interest in this! We are still seeing abysmally low adoption of IPv6 across cPanel systems, and on the internet at large, but we are keeping an eye on it. I'll update here as soon as there's been any update internally!

@benny , "low adoption of IPv6 accross cpanel".
at the moment all services can use the shared ipv6 adres. the only one missing: Apache !
thats why there is a low adoption of ipv6 on cpanel systems !

When the implementation of IPv6 is [crappy], you can't be surprised when adoption is "abysmally low", and that is certainly no reason to ignore it.
Polish this up and make it functional and I would expect it would actually get used.

In france there are still alot of companies / individuals who don't have ipv6 capacity. It seems that some internet suppliers are waiting for all old hardware to break down so that it can be replaced with ipv6 capable hardware.
While IPv4's are available at a reasonable price and not all internet conections are compatible IPv6 we don't have the need for it. It would be nice to have an ipv6 automaticaly attributed to each vhost.
Customer's sometimes ask about ipv6, but only because non cPanel competitors offer it. When we explain that not all internet suppliers are compatible with ipv6 and that they get a dedicated ipv4 they forget about ipv6 support.
IPv6 shared IP would only be usefull on small servers as the idea of IPv6 is to have so many that each applience in a household or each vhost in cPanel's cas could have it's own IP (that would be an IP per subdomain and not an IP per user). We have 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IPv6's with each of our servers, so with IPv6 we won't be needing a shared IPv6.

This would be really helpful to us, our datacentre has told us that we need to start deploying IPv6 across our infrastructure to allow us to order more IPv4 addresses. We've started to test deploy these for VPS channels, but having a cpanel server that can run on IPv6 only would be fantastic. We already have a /32 ipv6 address and if cpanel could use it exclusively we wouldn't have to ask for an IP address for my lifespan!
