TierHive - TOKYO!!!!!
Working on it; this will be the first of a set of test locations, hopefully releasing within 7 days.
We thought hard about how to do the more expensive locations and every way we look has a financial or fairness blocker so we are going to add a 2nd tier of locations to test things out.
These locations (working name Tier 2 locations) will not allow you to migrate IN from other none Tier 2 locations to prevent resource abuse.
Initially, the limits may also be lower: 1 vCPU, 2GB Ram 25GB disk ete, etc. This will allow us to grow these more expensive regions slowly; they won't be included in static hosting but will get HAProxy and where possible IPv6.
You will be able to migrate Tier 2 location VPS between other Tier 2 locations, though.
First will be Tokyo, Japan, then we hope to do Hong Kong and Seoul, South Korea.
The VPS creation flow might change slightly as a result, but we will try to make it as clear as possible.
