For a redundant VPS environment, you need at least two VPSs that are spread over two different availability zones. There are two ways to place a VPS in a specific availability zone:
- During the ordering process you choose in which availability zone your VPS is placed
- You can clone an existing VPS to another availability zone
It is not necessary for an HA-IP Pro or a Private Network to indicate where they will be located. Both are delivered redundantly and operate from both availability zones simultaneously.
Choosing an availability zone during the ordering process
If you order a VPS from our website, you will get the option to choose an availability zone for your VPS while putting your order together, as in the example below.
You can also see how many VPSs you have in an availability zone. Click the arrow behind 'You have X VPSs in this zone' to get an overview of the VPSs in that zone.
Please note: If you use this option and are setting up a redundant environment, you will have to manually configure each VPS to use the same configuration. Therefore, we recommend that you fully configure one VPS and then clone it instead (see our article on cloning VPSs).
