Can I change the IP address?
No. If you have not purchased additional, multiple IP addresses, you must not change the IP address. If you have purchased additional, multiple IP addresses for your account, you must exercise great care when you change an IP Address. In all cases, if you specify an IP address other than one which is assigned to you, your private server will not function. This is true of any other IP address than the those your private server was assigned at the time of provisioning. Even the address you might see displayed as unused IP address for the subnet of your private server might cause your private server to cease functioning. You will also be unable to see information about any aspect of the data traffic associated with any other IP address or VPS account. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating system supports a standard, UNIX/Linux command which enables you to see the status of network interfaces for your private server. Use the command for diagnostic and configuration tasks only. For example, if you issue the ifconfig command without any additional argument, all of the currently active interfaces are displayed. If you issue the command with the additional argument of –a, all of the interfaces, including inactive ones are displayed. Beyond the simple display of interfaces, the command includes additional argument s which enable you to specify an IP address for each network interface. If you do specify another address in error, the remedy is to log into your private server as root and use the ifconfig command to specify the correct IP address. For more details about the ifconfig command, refer to the RHEL operating system Man Pages
