# About Regions

A Contentstack region refers to the location of the data centers where your organization's data resides.

While subscribing to a [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login), you can decide the data center that will host your organization’s data.

Contentstack currently supports seven regions: **AWS North America**, **AWS Europe**, **AWS Australia**, **Azure North America**, **Azure Europe**, **GCP North America**, and **GCP Europe.**.

## Data Centers

Contentstack supported regions are hosted in the following data centers:

*   For AWS North America, our main region is **Oregon, US (us-west-1)** and the backup region is **North Virginia, US (us-east-1)**.
*   For AWS Europe, our main region is **Ireland, Europe (eu-west-1)** and the backup is **Frankfurt, Europe (eu-central-1)**.
*   For AWS Australia, our primary region is **Sydney** and our backup region is **Singapore.**
*   For Azure North America, our primary region is **West US 2** and our backups are configured in **US East** region(**MongoDB Database** backups) and **West US** region(**Assets** backups).
*   For Azure Europe, our primary region is **West Europe (Netherlands)** and our backup region is **EU Central 1 (Frankfurt).**
*   For GCP North America, our primary region is **Oregon, US (us-west1)** and the backup region is **South Carolina, US (us-east1).**
*   For GCP Europe, our primary region is **Europe-west1 (Belgium)** and our backup region is **Europe-west3 (Frankfurt).**

## Features of Contentstack Regions

*   Global Availability
*   Independent Data Centers
*   Speed and Security

### Global Availability

Each data center is installed in a specific region, but it is capable of serving customers across the globe.  
For example: The AWS Europe data center is installed in the European region and it is capable of serving customers across all of Europe and other continents.

### Independent Data Centers

*   Each region is a separate, independent region. Therefore a region doesn't work as a fallback or disaster recovery option for the other.  
    You can't use a region as a backup of your primary region.
*   The data stored in one region cannot be accessed by anyone from a different region.
*   You cannot store your organization's content in multiple regions.  
    For example: If you choose the AWS Europe data center as your region, all of your organization's data will reside in the AWS Europe region
*   Each region has its own login URLs and other endpoints.  
    

### Speed and Security

*   Contentstack regions offer high level of [data security and privacy](https://www.contentstack.com/trust).
*   The Contentstack app functions at the optimum level in all the available regions.
