Rotate Your VPS IP: Without Losing Your Data

By the NoctHost TeamJuly 20, 2026Updated October 24, 20262 min read

Got an IP that's rate-limited, greylisted, or just burned? Until now you had one option: destroy the box and rebuild from scratch, losing everything on the disk. Not anymore.

NoctHost now has a one-click Get a new IP button. It snapshots your server, redeploys it on a fresh IPv4, and restores your data onto the new machine, so you keep your setup and just swap the address. It takes a few minutes, and your old IP is released back to the pool.

Why people want this

  • Clean reputation. Start over on an address nobody else has burned, no inherited blocklists, no shared history.
  • Rotation. Cycle exit IPs across sessions without rebuilding your environment each time.
  • Recovery. A service blocked your IP and you need a new one *now*, without tearing down the server you already configured.

How it works

  1. Open your server in the dashboard and find Change IP address.
  2. Hit Get a new IP and confirm.
  3. We snapshot the disk → redeploy on a new IPv4 → restore your data. Back online in a few minutes, with everything intact.

No KYC, no support ticket. The same email-and-balance flow as everything else here. Available on Vultr, DigitalOcean and Hetzner servers.

Data safety

The new server is built from a full snapshot of the old one, so your files, configs and installed software come across exactly as they were. The old instance is only destroyed after the snapshot is complete, your data always lives in at least one place during the switch.

Prefer a completely fresh box instead of a fresh IP? Deploying a new server still takes about 60 seconds and is billed by the hour, so you only pay for what you use. Either way, no identity check, just an email and a balance you top up with crypto or a card.

Spin one up in about a minute

Email signup, pay with crypto or card, hourly billing. Trying a box costs cents: destroy it when you are done.

Frequently asked

Does rotating the IP wipe my server?
No. The disk is kept and the machine comes back as it was. Only the address changes.
Which providers support it?
Vultr, DigitalOcean and Hetzner. Not Linode.
Why would I need a new IP?
Some address ranges arrive with a history you did not create — a previous tenant who got the block listed somewhere. If a fresh server is being challenged or refused immediately, the address is the problem rather than your setup.
How long does it take?
A few minutes. The server is unavailable while it happens, so do it at a quiet moment.
