I believe IPv4 space has nearly run out at APNIC (Asia Pacific), and RIPE (EU) isn't far behind. So your host is not spouting BS. Everyone will be in the same boat, sooner or later.

They could make me a good offer if i would sign a 4 year contract. I had instant growth at one point. From 1 moment to the other i used 4 times the amount of datatraffic i used to. They offered me a larger package for the same price as i was allready paying if i signed a contract for 4 years... I thought it was a good deal: growing but keeping my costs on the same level. My plan is also to still be around in 4 years... I always try to think long term...
Yeah sure i believe that about ipv4 but what if i was a new customer at my host...
would they denie me and say: sorry we can`t help you because we ran out of ipv4 ?
Maybe they think: he has a 4 year contract... he`s not going anywhere... let`s keep those ipv4`s for new customers and we tell our contract customers to go fuck themselfs.
