Is it possible to give my VPS a UK IP address?

unfortunately, the main IP of the VPS will always be French or Canadian, depending on the datacentre where the VPS is on.

The extra UK IP is normally used for geolocalisation purposes, not sure what the gameserver flag come from and how it detects the localisation.

Thanks.

As I said, even when the WHOIS information says UK, a geoip database, which is out of OVH control, may track the server to FR by various means: route analysis, manual validation, etc. And there's nothing that can be done about that. When OVH offers you a geolocated IP, they mean only the WHOIS information. No provider can do much more.

That is. Also note that, for VPS, each IP will cost you £0.84 monthly per IP, and with a limit of 16 IP addresses. Also, sometimes there are no IPv4 addresses available from some country, for example, last week a user commented there were no IPv4 addresses available from UK. Finally, note that, even when you get a geolocalized IP, that won't guarantee ip geolocation databases will detect your IP on that country. Some database will detect France for all european countries, and Canada for US IPs.

Ok I got one but my game server is still showing with french flag when I want UK flag.

Is there anything I must do? I want UK flag to show for my game server.

You'd have to order an additional IP which is only possible on the VPS Cloud.
