You can select regions when ordering as far as I know.

Nope that's the thing when you order it does not show and interested to know if anyone has got it right.

Don't think they've got a ZA GCP presence? Just edge stuff not full blown GCP

AWS and Azure does though

GCP doesn't have any ZA regions; AWS has a region in Cape Town, though, and Azure in both Cape Town and Johannesburg.

That being said, going with a European region like London is fine for many use-cases and is a little cheaper, too.

completely agree - hosting with hetzner Germany and so far so good , been a few years - wish Xneelo would bring the tech in. Clients wants data dominion in SA hence the investigation
