As I understand, the only way to make a full resize of a droplet (including disk space) is to create a new one using a custom snapshot image. Is it possible to guarantee preserving of original IP address in this case? Or is there any alternative way to make full resize?

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.
