How to host droplets in different host server boxes?

Posted November 6, 2013

I have a database that requires replication in a different hosting server to guarantee that if the hosting server dies, the second running on a different host is still available. How can I check that two droplets are running on distinct boxes?

For the time being you can create separate droplets in different Data Center locations. <br> <br>DigitalOcean offers 4 different data center locations.
