Now, I'm not an expert with VPS, so forgive me if my question is a bit silly. Basically, I'd like to have a VPS where its IP changes automatically every two or three days. Does that exist? Do I need something else like a VPN? How much does it cost?

Thanks.

I doubt that exists, though. Usually VPS providers uses static IPs... if it changes dynamically, it would be hard to monitor via console, wouldn't it?

Why not just use a proxy and treat it as an IP?
 
I am not sure if there are any VPS with dynamic IP's - reason is it's hard to resolve website address by the Nameservers, although it's possible. Depending on your need, you can use VPS with VPNs or proxies.
 
It may be a little more expensive, but if you use Amazon's EC2 platform to run your virtual servers you can change IP's whenever you want. Each VPS has a dedicated "internal IP" inside EC2 (10.X.X.X) which never changes, it gets outside/internet connectivity from "Elastic IPs" that can be changed ondemand - there's even an API for it.

I've written an app that does exactly this, its running on an EC2 VPS and periodically (~36 hours) it changes its IP by first requesting a new "Elastic IP" and then assigning it to itself, releasing the previous one - the change is instantaneous. Amazon may seem expensive but you can do just about everything with their 'Spot Instances' which are 1/5th the price .. just make sure you backup your stuff incase you're Spot Price is outbid.
 
if you only need an ip that's in the same country that you are in (ie you don't need an ip for china if you are in usa) you can use a dongle it changes ip address every time you unplug and plug it back into your computer or laptop, verizon is good also tmobile
 
The most easy to go solution would be to use a VPN with your VPS.
The difficulty of changing IP in a VPS is that it has to be done manually at back end.
If you are willing to pay cost for extra IP's per month I can offer alongside with my VPS service
 
Thank you guys.
