If you’ve ever come across either of these 2 errors when you’re trying to deploy your server:

We use physical bare metal hardware for our servers - we don’t simply use VM cloud services. We have to order, rack, and deploy bare metal with our hardware and network partners to support our infrastructure. If there is a massive uptick in server demand, it can take some time for hardware to be shipped, installed, and configured,.
When selecting a location to deploy your server, you can see how much availability we have at each of our physical locations via the map. The map uses your browser’s information to detect your location. You can use the ctrl
