Choosing a data center

The difference between the mainland China and global data centers of ivyNote Cloud.

ivyNote Cloud runs in two regions, independently of each other:

Data center Address For
Mainland China https://web.ivynote.net Use inside mainland China
Global https://web.ivynote.app Everywhere else

Which one?

  • Pick the region where you mostly use ivyNote: it is fastest and syncs most reliably.
  • This site suggests one from your browser language (Simplified Chinese → mainland China, anything else → global). Change it in the menu; the site remembers your choice.

Good to know

  • Accounts and data in the two regions are separate: an account created in one cannot sign in to the other.
  • Keep using the region you signed up in. In the desktop app, connect to the matching address.
  • To move regions: export all notes in the old region, sign up in the new one and import. See Import and export.

Where data is stored

  • Mainland China region: data is stored inside mainland China.
  • Global region: data is stored outside mainland China.

Both use the same encrypted storage; see Security.
