# Regions

> Ownkube Compute runs in Asia (Mumbai) and Europe (Germany). How to pick a region, what stays inside one, and how bandwidth is priced per region.

Every deployment on Ownkube Compute runs in one **region**, chosen when you create it. Pick the one closest to your users, or the one your data needs to stay in.

| Region | Shown in the app as | Outbound bandwidth |
|---|---|---|
| Mumbai | Asia (Mumbai) | \$0.13 per GB |
| Germany | Europe (Germany) | \$0.02 per GB |

Compute, database and cache prices are the same in both regions. Only bandwidth differs. Inbound traffic and traffic between deployments in the same region are free. See [Plans and pricing](/docs/billing/plans).

## Choosing a region

- **Latency.** Put the app where its users are. A European audience on the Germany region sees a fraction of the round-trip it would see on Mumbai.
- **Data residency.** Data in a region stays in that region. For [GDPR](https://gdpr.eu/) scope, Germany keeps data in the EU.
- **Keep an app and its data together.** A web app and the database it links to should be in the same region. Cross-region traffic counts as outbound bandwidth and adds latency to every query.

## What a region contains

A region is a failure and networking boundary. Deployments in the same region reach each other over [private networking](/docs/networking/private) by name. Public hostnames resolve to the region the app runs in. A region cannot be changed after creation; to move, create the deployment in the other region, link the new database, and switch the subdomain. See [Public hostnames and TLS](/docs/networking/public-hostnames).

## From the terminal

```bash
okctl regions list
```

Lists the regions you can deploy to, with their identifiers for `okctl deploy create` manifests.
