Hi Vinicius,

I'm not aware of a way to configure handle.net to use a URL or domain
instead of an IP address.  Also, the first question in the Handle.net
Support page seems to say that if you update your IP address, you will need
to update your Handle configuration: https://www.handle.net/hnr_support.html

Another option might be to look into whether you can purchase a fixed IP
from your cloud hosting environment. While, by default, many cloud hosting
options do not guarantee a fixed IP address, most offer an option to
purchase a fixed IP address for an additional cost.  For instance, if you
are using Amazon Web Services (AWS), you can purchase an Elastic IP address
(which provides a fixed, external IP) and attach that to your server (so
that, even if your server reboots, it retains the same external IP
address):
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html

So, plenty of DSpace sites are run in AWS using an Elastic IP address...and
the Handle configuration works great (just set it up with your purchased
Elastic IP address).

Good luck,

TIm
