Hi there @lukehlee,

You can do that only if you are using a Floating IP address. DigitalOcean floating IPs are publicly-accessible static IP addresses that you can assign to Droplets and instantly remap between other Droplets in the same datacenter.

You can take a look at the official documentation here:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
