IP & DNS¶
Where can my node be located?¶
You choose a datacenter region when ordering:
| Region | Locations |
|---|---|
| North America | Canada (Beauharnois, Quebec) · US West (Hillsboro, Oregon) · US East (Vint Hill, Virginia) |
| Europe | France (Gravelines, Nord) · Germany (Frankfurt) · Poland (Warsaw) · United Kingdom (London) |
Pick the location closest to you or your users for the best performance.
What is my node's address?¶
Your node has an HTTPS endpoint hostname, delivered in your welcome email. Point your S3 client at that hostname — see Endpoint & credentials.
Should I connect by hostname or IP?¶
Always use the hostname from your welcome email. The hostname is what the TLS certificate matches, so connecting by raw IP will cause certificate errors.
Can I put my node behind my own domain (CNAME)?¶
If you'd like a custom hostname, ask support@clearstreamer.com — don't assume a CNAME will work on its own, because TLS has to match the name your client requests.
Does my endpoint hostname or IP change?¶
Your endpoint is stable for normal operation. If a change is ever necessary (for example, a major infrastructure move), you'll be notified in advance.
Which region should I choose?¶
The one nearest your users. Latency to a distant region lowers real-world throughput even on a large tier — see Choosing a tier and Performance.
Can I have nodes in multiple regions?¶
Yes — order one service per region. Each is independent with its own endpoint and keys.
How do I check connectivity to my node?¶
A simple bucket list confirms the full path (DNS, TLS, and auth) end to end:
aws --endpoint-url "https://YOUR-ENDPOINT/" s3 ls
If that fails, see connection errors.
