Unable to create a server

Help! is there anybody from Russia here? I'm trying to use forge. I've signed up with $10/month plan, granted forge an access to digital ocean account and on creating a server step I'm getting the error message The server provider was unable to create your server. Try a different region. What am I supposed to do?

P.S. on digital ocean I didn't provide my billing info just yet. May that create the issue?

Yes, you need to add your billing info before you can make a droplet.

I actually had the same issue. I sent out an email and received a reply for Taylor in just 10 mins! and the problem was solved.

Yeah, actually I was about to, but @bashy came up with his answer right away

Just ran into this as well for anyone that has a similar issue. Digital Ocean limits the amount of droplets you can have, (10,25,50...). As you hit those limits you may need to go to your DO profile and request a limit upgrade

@kilrizzy Thanks for 1 year bump. That stuff is all displayed on the DO website.

When running into the problem this is the first thread to come up despite how old it is. Having an answer here is helpful for anyone that stumbles across this problem especially when it is not clear what the exact issue is and there are multiple causes
