How can I find out the location of my hosting. Because it was set up by the administrator. Can anyone share the link if there is a possibility.

Which datacenter are you in? Under your droplet name you should see a line like “1 GB Memory / 30 GB Disk / NYC1 - Debian 8.8 x64”
the NYC1 (or SFO2, or TOR1, etc) indicated which data center the droplet is in. That should also tell you which country.
@ephemer
Use the ip address of your droplet to locate where it is
geoiplookup <ip_address>Hope this helps.
It’s not always clear what these identifiers like mentioned “NYC1” mean. I have for example “AMS3”. I think there should be added explicit information about this in the panel. If I had many droplets spread across multiple locations, I’d like to be able to search by location. To be honest I am very surprised that even information is not there - Amazon EC2 console has it way clearer, so something to improve for #digitalocean
