×I just wanted to provide an update to this question in case anyone still stumbles across it. Since this was asked, we introduced some new features around resizing. In addition to the existing “flexible” resizing option, we now offer permanent resizing which allows you to resize your disk space as well as CPU and RAM. This makes the old snapshot and redeploy method of resizing unnecessary, and as you are not destroying your Droplet you don’t run the risk of losing your IP address.

Hey @moisey, you mentioned back in March 2013 that you were updating the code which preserves the IP. Any update on that? Or is it still the same situation as before - most likely will be preserved if interval between destroy and create is small?
