Though having a weird port number on a blog URL would probably cause me to think twice before clicking on it, at least from a bare-metal Windows machine; it makes me think "botnet dropper".
EDIT: That being the 64MB.
DigitalOcean even has ipv6 now. What's the point?
A Raspberry Pi would not provide better performance than the E3 we have.
Anyway an idea: it's fun. Trying to run a whole LAMP stack or a RoR stack on 64MB RAM is more fun than not using all your resources. Also we're cheap and people like that. We might not always beat them in performance but we don't break the bank either.
Combine that with SNI hosting (unfortunately we would have to give you the keys for it)
I agree there are still IPv4 addresses about but this teaches people that they are running out and we should look for other solutions.
We'll never run out of IPv4 addresses. We'll just reach a point where each one has a mortgage-sized pricetag. (Well, we would if we were stuck with IPv4, anyway.)
With those if you want to make anything on the services accessible via IPv4 you need to do it via another route, such as a VPN (or even just a port forward) to/from somewhere where you have an address to spare or for websites perhaps somewhere where you run nginx as a reverse proxy. In fact some infrastructure-as-a-service companies like CloudFlair offer this as a service: your users talk to them via IPv4 or IPv6 but they always talk to you via IPv6.
Some offer IPv6 with "IPv4 NAT" which allows you to call out via IPv4 as normal and may include calling in but not on standard ports (i.e. not 80 for HTTP, 22 for SSH, and so forth).
As a side-note; I'm getting mixed-content warnings when accessing your website. You have the PureCSS framework included with a http link, instead of https. yui.yahooapis.com doesn't support https, so you need to host it yourself to get rid of this warning. You also have a picture hosted on imgur.com, which does support https.
Maybe consider updating your links to not include http/https and just use :// instead?

I tried an alphanumeric of the same length (15 characters) and it worked. So i doubt it's a length issue.
Would this be an acceptable use? Bandwidth requirements would be extremely low (I would say less than 100MB/month in 99% of the cases).
No thanks.

Also if anyone is interested in how this is technically setup then I wrote an [article][0]
How much free space is left on each VPS with the operating system installed?
Yeah OpenVPN works fine on this setup.
You can use CloudFlare as a reverse proxy for "native" IPv4 and IPv6.
Just for the record, LowEndSpirit.com has done the same thing well before this was launched.
