# Dedicated instance With the enterprise plan, you have the option to get maximum reliability with an isolated instance of Bubble that operates on a Bubble-managed AWS server. One dedicated instance can host as many apps as you need. ## Get this article as a PDF We also have information about dedicated instances in a downloadable PDF for easy and offline reading. {% file src="" %} ## What you get with a dedicated instance ### Hosting region Specify the region where your server and data are located. Choose from Bubble’s growing list of AWS data center regions: * Bahrain * Calgary * Cape Town * Frankfurt * Hong Kong * Ireland * London * Mexico City * Montreal * Mumbai * N. California * N. Virginia * Ohio * Oregon * Osaka * Paris * Seoul * Singapore * Stockholm * Sydney * São Paulo * Tel Aviv * Tokyo * UAE * Zurich This capability isn't merely about speed; it's about complying with data sovereignty laws and ensuring that your data is stored in a region that aligns with your business requirements or regulations. ### Static IP A dedicated instance provides your apps with a static IP[^1], ensuring a constant IP address. This allows for more reliable connections, seamless integration with other systems, and the ability to build robust security features centered around the IP address.

We're equipped and ready to make the necessary adjustments to your plan or server configuration to optimize performance, even for specific corner cases and processes.

By storing cached versions of static resources like images, CSS, and JavaScript, CDNs minimize the distance between the user and the app's original server. ### Manage Bubble updates Our shared server environments are continually updated with new features and security improvements. With the Enterprise plan, you decide when to update your server. This lets you test new features or changes in a controlled environment and roll them out on your own schedule.
