Yes, that's an ipv6 network address.

Almost all ISP don't support it (yet) unfortunately nativly.
You can het a free tunnel however from tunnelbroker.net, together with
2^64 public addresses. (and your not stuck to a specific provider
anymore)

In your case it's funny that you endup with _only_ an IPv6 address.
Most sites that publically support ipv6, have both 1pv4 and ipv6
addresses tied to their name.

Furthermore, this adress in neither (reversed) resolvable nor ping6-able
