# How do I choose where to host my project in Africa?

|| It all depends on your project. The question "*which country, which datacenter*" doesn't have a single answer: it depends on who your users are and your constraints. This is precisely the role of managed hosting consulting, and we look at this with you. Two main scenarios.

## Is your project targeting a single country?

This is the simple case. If your website or business application serves users in a single country, there's no hesitation: **we host in that country, as close as possible to your users.** For resilience, **your backups are placed outside that country, in Africa or Europe depending on your choice** and your legal constraints. Your primary data stays with you, your backup copy is elsewhere.

## Is your project multi-country?

As soon as several countries come into play, the parameters multiply: latency to optimize market by market, regulatory obligations specific to each country, distribution for resilience, backup architecture. There's no one-size-fits-all answer. This is when we like to sit down with you. **We start from your project, your users, your legal constraints, and we build the infrastructure that makes sense together.** 

## How we proceed

The starting point is always the same questions:
* Who are your users, and in which countries?
* What data do you process, and what obligations apply country by country?
* What level of continuity are you aiming for?
* Where to place your backups, based on your legal constraints and your preference?

Based on your answers, we propose an infrastructure, and adjust it with you. You decide.
