Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Lately i've been hearing a lot about nostalrius and all the hype that goes with it so i decided to make a break from retail (since it's sh*t anyways atm) and give it a go.
My questions are however, where is the server hosted (EU/US)?
Since i'm planning to make an enh shaman ,am i gonna have hard time finding a spot in a raid as it was hard back in old days?
Are there any semi-hardcore/hardcore guilds currently recruiting,10 year veteran here in both PvE and PvP?
Thanks in advance and cheers!

Hosted in France, yes and there's always people recruiting.

France is good enough for me,thanks for response!
