@klpowell - how about restoring from a snapshot or taking a backup yourself, or provision another droplet and rsync files from droplet1 to droplet2 ?
Interesting thread considering I have been sending daily reports to spamcop for 3 weeks for paypal phishing emails all coming from DO, the only response I got was when I made it public on twitter.
@anthonysmith - can you send a link to the tweet? I'd like to see their response.
@klpowell I am sorry but that's just stupid! If they require you to do this then you need to move on and find a better provider. Swapping your IP address with another should not taking any additional work beside a simple reboot.
@marcm - I don't think DO can change IPs without destroying the droplet, it's probably hardwired into their systems.
Just create an image from within their panel then create a new VM using that image
@finlandvps they could, they just don't want to make the effort to do so.
That was the final suggestion I received. Not sure that I want to spend additional money on a second droplet to do so. Especially when I have a great VPS from @qps that I have never had this issue on. My only purpose for getting anything from DO was to spread some domains around to other servers. Moving them back to my QPS VPS is less work than reprovisioning one with DO.
How second droplet??? Create an image from within their panel then create a new VM using that image, check if everything is ok, kill old VM. Running two VMs simultaneously few hours will cost you some cent.
