-**Location:** NC1 Charlotte (32-core EPYC, 251GB RAM)
+**Location:** Billing VPS (38.68.14.188) — clean IP, shares with Paymenter only
+**Previous Location:** NC1 Charlotte (incorrect — game server IP reputation risk)
+
+**Decision (March 14, 2026):** Moved from NC1 to Billing VPS. Frostwall dependency was based on
+incorrect assumption that Mailcow needed dedicated hardware. Actual requirement is clean IP reputation.
+Billing VPS has clean IP, sufficient resources (18GB disk, 40% memory headroom), and logical
+co-location with Paymenter for transactional email.
