What CVM regions and availability zones are available and how to choose?
Can I change the region of a purchased CVM?
No. You cannot change the regions of purchased CVMs. If you need to deploy an existing CVM to another region or availability zone, please try the following:
Create a custom image for the original instance. Then, use the custom image to create an instance, launch it and update its configuration in a new availability zone.
1.2 If the network environment of the current instance is VPC and you need to retain the private IP address after migration, please delete the subnet in the current availability zone and then create a subnet in the new availability zone with the same IP address range as that of the original subnet. Note:
If the subnet to be deleted contains available instances, first migrate all instances in the subnet to the new subnet.
1.3 Use the newly created custom image to create a new instance in the new availability zone.
You can choose the same instance type and configuration as that of the original instance, or configure new ones for the new instance. For more information, see Creating an Instance. 1.4 If an elastic public IP address is associated with the original instance, disassociate it from the original instance and associate it with the new instance. For more information, see Elastic IP Addresses (EIPs). Can Tencent Cloud users in China enjoy the same product quality and services for resources purchased in China and other regions or countries?

If you purchased a product on the Tencent Cloud official website, call the Tencent Cloud 24/7 service hotline (4009100100) or submit a ticket. How do I deploy CVM instances in regions outside China?
CVM instances in regions outside China have the same deployment method if they have the same type of operating system.
Can I migrate instances to regions outside Mainland China?
The region and availability zone of an instance cannot be changed. To use an instance in other countries or regions, you need to purchase another instance.
Why some instance types can only be purchased in China regions?
Some regions may not support certain instance types. For information on supported instance types, go to the CVM purchase page to view instance purchase information. If I build a website using a CVM instance from a region outside Mainland China and my users access the website through a domain name, does this domain name need ICP filing?
For websites in regions in Mainland China, ICP filing is required for domain names. For websites in other countries or regions, ICP filing is not required.
Do instances in different regions have the same price?
The pricing of a CVM instance includes its specifications, storage, network bandwidth, etc. The prices of these components vary by regions, so the instance price will be different.
For more information on pricing, see Pricing.
