Provider Changing IP Address of VPS - Is there anything I need to do?
Hello, the provider for one of my VPS's (ReliableHostingServices) sent me an email that they assigning me a new IP address, and the old one will be removed from my VPS in 2 weeks.
When running ifconfig, I can see venet0:0-00 as the "old" IP address, and venet0:1-00 as the "new" ip address.
I understand that I will obviously need to update any config files for VPNs, and A records on my DNS for nginx (and my saved IP address in Putty & Filezilla :P ).
However, in terms of the operating system itself, is there any changes or updates I need to make myself, or is this all handled when the provider removes the "old" IP address?
In case it matters, this is OpenVZ, running CentOS.
I did try Google searching to see if I missed anything, but the results I found seem to only remind me to update DNS & allow 2 days for DNS propagation.

Yep you only need to update DNS and any configurations that bind to the IP, they'll remove your old IP Address on the date they told you and you do not need to take further action on that
yeah change ips in backup scripts too and possibly in ~/.ssh/config.
Anything that's not working on your new IP now will stop working. If you find a service does let work check its config - it's probably bound to the IP and not the device/listening globally.
You need to look for a VPS provider with their own IP allocations.
Nope, you don't need to change anything with your OS since you're running OpenVZ and all of the networking for the OS is handled by OpenVZ (unless you're running veth instead of venet, which I highly doubt).
Looks like that is what this vps provider is moving to.
Thank you for the input, everyone
