Solution for digital ocean IP changing on scaling
I understand that the root of this problem is on the end of your provider. But it would be great if some sort of solution to this could be found. Even something like Cloudways keeping a copy of the server at its current IP until dns has changed over or something.

The solution is to never point your domain to the server IP but to create a CNAME as explained in our KB:

If you do this, then we take care of automatically changing the IP from our end and you don’t need to do anything.

That is not a solution for a root domain, correct?
