 The easiest way to get an Algo server running is to run it on your local system or from [Google Cloud Shell](docs/deploy-from-cloudshell.md) and let it set up a _new_ virtual machine in the cloud for you.
 
-1. **Setup an account on a cloud hosting provider.** Algo supports [DigitalOcean](https://m.do.co/c/4d7f4ff9cfe4) (most user friendly), [Amazon Lightsail](https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/), [Amazon EC2](https://aws.amazon.com/), [Vultr](https://www.vultr.com/), [Microsoft Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com/), [Google Compute Engine](https://cloud.google.com/compute/), [Scaleway](https://www.scaleway.com/), [DreamCompute](https://www.dreamhost.com/cloud/computing/), [Linode](https://www.linode.com) other OpenStack-based cloud hosting, [Exoscale](https://www.exoscale.com) or other CloudStack-based cloud hosting, or [Hetzner Cloud](https://www.hetzner.com/).

 ### Configuration file
 
-Algo scripts will ask you for the API detail. You need to fetch the API credentials and the endpoint from the provider control panel.
+> **⚠️ Important Note:** Exoscale is no longer supported as they deprecated their CloudStack API on May 1, 2024. Please use alternative providers like Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, or Scaleway.
 
-Example for Exoscale (European cloud provider exposing CloudStack API), visit https://portal.exoscale.com/u/<your@account>/account/profile/api to gather the required information: CloudStack api key and secret.
+Algo scripts will ask you for the API details. You need to fetch the API credentials and the endpoint from your CloudStack provider's control panel.
+
+For CloudStack providers, you'll need to set:
 
 ```bash
 export CLOUDSTACK_KEY="<your api key>"
 export CLOUDSTACK_SECRET="<your secret>"
-export CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT="https://api.exoscale.com/compute"
+export CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT="<your provider's API endpoint>"
 ```
+
+Make sure your provider supports the CloudStack API. Contact your provider for the correct API endpoint URL.

 Required variables:
 
 - [cs_config](https://trailofbits.github.io/algo/cloud-cloudstack.html): /path/to/.cloudstack.ini
-- cs_region: e.g. `exoscale`
-- cs_zones: e.g. `ch-gva2`
+- cs_region: your CloudStack region
+- cs_zones: your CloudStack zone
 
 The first two can also be defined in your environment, using the variables `CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG` and `CLOUDSTACK_REGION`.
