## Select a Droplet (optional)
The default option is the `s-1vcpu-1gb` because it is available in all regions. However, you may want to switch to a cheaper droplet such as `s-1vcpu-512mb-10gb` even though it is not available in all regions. This can be edited in the [Configuration File](config.cfg) under `cloud_providers > digitalocean > size`. See this brief comparison between the two droplets below:
| `s-1vcpu-1gb` | $6/month | 1.0 TB | All regions |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
*Note: Exceeding bandwidth limits costs $0.01/GiB at time of writing ([docs](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/billing/bandwidth/#droplets)). See the live list of droplets [here](https://slugs.do-api.dev/).*

These steps are for those who run Algo using Docker or using the `./algo` command.

If you see this error then one possible explanation is that you have a previous firewall configured in your cloud hosting provider which needs to be either updated or ideally removed. Removing this can often fix this issue.
### Linode Error: "Unable to query the Linode API. Saw: 400: The requested distribution is not supported by this stackscript.; "
StackScript is a custom deployment script that defines a set of configurations for a Linode instance (e.g. which distribution, specs, etc.). if you used algo with default values in the past deployments, a stackscript that would've been created is 're-used' in the deployment process (in fact, go see 'create Linodes' and under 'StackScripts' tab). Thus, there's a little chance that your deployment process will generate this 'unsupported stackscript' error due to a pre-existing StackScript that doesn't support a particular configuration setting or value due to an 'old' stackscript. The quickest solution is just to change the name of your deployment from the default value of 'algo' (or any other name that you've used before, again see the dashboard) and re-run the deployment.
## Connection Problems
Look here if you deployed an Algo server but now have a problem connecting to it with a client.
