How stable is a linode assigned IP.
Now that I have a linode instance up and running, and have an assigned IP, how stable is that IP? If I have a crash, I assume I'll lose the IP. Is there any way to lock in an a linode assigned IP so it will be stable for the future? Or, is there another way to deal with wanting an IP that will not change? Thank you.

Your IP addresses (v4 & v6) belong to your Linode. If your Linode crashes/reboots, you will get the same IP addresses. They don't change until
- the Linode goes away; or
- you swap them with another Linode.
