Getting different IP address from what I'd choose

Posted on June 24, 2018

Hello, I’m having trouble making an SG server,

Every time I choose it, it always gives me an Amsterdam IP. LOL

Please help me how to solve it.

Thanks,

IPs are routed to specific datacenters so if you select one you will get one that is hosted in that network. The IPs aren’t shared between datacenters. There maybe some outdated information occasionally if a transfer of IPs and an update is in progress. Also IPs are passed between providers occasionally so depending on where you are checking where the IP is located that information could be outdated depending on how often it is updated.
