Do DigitalOcean IPs change?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:13 pm

DigitalOcean is a cloud hosting company that provides virtual servers for individuals and businesses. The company has two types of virtual servers: Droplets and Galaxies.

Droplets are the smallest type of virtual server, and they are available in a variety of sizes. Droplets are based on the Ubuntu operating system, and they come with a default root password.

PRO TIP: If you are using a DigitalOcean IP address, be aware that it may change at any time. This can cause issues with your website or email service if you are not using a static IP address.

Galaxies are the largest type of virtual server, and they are available in two sizes. Galaxies are based on the CentOS operating system, and they come with a default root password and a number of pre-installed applications.

DigitalOcean does not change the IP addresses of its Droplets or Galaxies.
