Be sure to include all detail needed to let others see and understand the problem! --> <!-- Current versus Expected behavior --> <!-- Code, configuration, and steps that reproduce this issue --> <!-- Project information (URL, framework, environment, project settings) --> I’m currently developing a web application for **Canadian healthcare practitioners**, and the project is subject to **Canadian data residency laws (PIPEDA / PHIPA)**. According to these compliance requirements, both **application hosting** and **data storage** must remain **within Canada** — including all server-side processing and network routing. From my understanding, Vercel deploys applications globally across its Edge Network and primarily hosts infrastructure in the **U.S. and EU**, not specifically in Canada. My question is: * Is there any way to **configure Vercel** to ensure that my **application is deployed and served exclusively from Canada-based servers**? * If not, does Vercel provide **region pinning**, **data residency options**, or any **enterprise plan** features that allow compliance with **Canadian data localization laws**? The goal is to stay within legal boundaries for healthcare data while still benefiting from Vercel’s edge performance for non-sensitive static content. Any official clarification, documentation link, or recommended architecture pattern would be very helpful. Thanks in advance! system (@system) · 2025-11-10 The domain troubleshooting guide can help with most custom domain configuration issues. You might be able to use that guide to solve it before a human is available to help you. Then you can come back here and share the answer for [bonus points](https://community.vercel.com/t/introducing-the-vercel-leaderboard/1358). https://vercel.com/docs/projects/domains/troubleshooting You can also use [v0](https://v0.dev/) to narrow down the possibilities.

These are the North America options available for me.
