If you host websites or other services utilizing DNS on this VPS, you would have to also update the DNS records of all websites.
If services running on your VPS bind to static IP addresses instead of wildcard IP (0.0.0.0) or localhost (127.0.0.1), then you would have to also update the configuration files of such services to use the new IP.
