The main problem we're running in to is the lack of space with no other way to easily display the various options on the front page.  The text boxes take up a lot of space.  Even as it is now, many IPv6 addresses are being line-wrapped.

A note about both the flags and the sponsored icons.. you can hover your mouse over them and get a tooltip with information.  However I do have an idea on getting the sponsor info on the page, let me experiment with that...

In my honest opinion the flags are not as neat as the previous solution. Text boxes with added colours would look better, but 'better' in my opinion just.

I was just looking at the sponsored icons myself and I can't see a way that they could look good at all. In my view, we should just remove the icon entirely and make the "Sponsored by" text box visible when viewing the page, which inexplicably it isn't at the moment.

I don't really think that icon benefits either visitors or sponsors (as I'm betting not many average people are aware of the hovering to see the alt text, and the information isn't available in the server page itself). Maybe a sponsor here can correct me, but I personally removed all the "Sponsored" text from my servers and typed a little something in the description instead. Makes it look a bit better.

Awesome, that's looking pretty good. Thanks for your work. :) One
thought came to mind, would the sponsored icon be better off as part
of the flags column? Seems like that'd keep it neater.
