Hi.Yesterday I removed my droplet accidently. I should use that IP address for my business.
Can anyone help me to restore the IP address for my new droplet?
Best Regards, Bruce

Hey @BraceLiu987
Sorry to hear that happened. Unfortunately it isn’t possible to get that IP address back after the droplet is deleted. Once a droplet is deleted the IP is returned to the pool of available IP’s and a new droplet would get it assigned. I’d recommend in the future using a Floating IP They aren’t removed when a droplet is deleted.
Hope it helps! Nate
