Chargebee Billing Data Centers 

Chargebee offers multiple options for regions where the data for your accounts can be hosted. Powered by Amazon Web Services , a "Region" is composed of multiple data centers clustered within multiple "Availability Zones".

You may select a hosting region based on your data residency requirements which are, in turn, derived from the data protection regulations in your location of incorporation and the location(s) of your customer base.

Selecting a hosting region 

When creating a Chargebee account , you can choose one of three data hosting regions: AU, US, or EU. The screenshot below shows how to select the hosting region:

The data for both Live and Test sites of the account is hosted in the selected region. To change the hosting region for an account after signing up, create a Support ticket  and we'll get back to you.

Warning

All data in the Chargebee account is lost while changing its hosting region.

Note

If you wish to use Chargebee across multiple regions, create a separate Chargebee account in each of the desired regions.
