Hello,
Right now we are designing a product and I will be using DigitalOcean VPS for all the communication.
I will be hard coding the IP address in the product.
Can I be assured that my IPv4 address will not change?
Thank you and regards.

Hi there @Aerience,
Yes, each Droplet comes with one static IPv4 address that should not change.
However, I would strongly advise using a domain name rather than an IP. That way in case you need to switch the IP of your Droplet, you would only have to change the A record of your domain name rather than making the change to your code.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
