 Additionally, so that your VPS is accessible via SSH after it's initial boot, IP addresses are assigned from the host via DHCP. Although the lease time is infinite for your IP, meaning it will always belong to you, in the off chance that your VPS cannot communicate with the host DHCP server you may lose IP connectivity. As such, we recommend that IP address assignment be changed to static after the initial boot. Instructions for doing so can be found in the following: [[vps:dhcp-vs-static|DHCP vs Statically-assigned IPs]]. Additionally, so that your VPS is accessible via SSH after it's initial boot, IP addresses are assigned from the host via DHCP.
