# Data Center

# Data Redirection

If your app needs to redirect data to a specific zone due to a data regulation policy, please configure the zone in the MoEngage initializer object. Use the [*setDataCenter()*](https://moengage.github.io/android-api-reference/core/com.moengage.core/-mo-engage/-builder/set-data-center.html) in the [*MoEngage.Builder*](https://moengage.github.io/android-api-reference/core/com.moengage.core/-mo-engage/-builder/index.html) to specify the data center.

<CodeGroup>
  ```kotlin Kotlin theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
  // this is the instance of the application class and "XXXXXXXXXXX" is the APP ID from the dashboard.
  val moEngage = MoEngage.Builder(this, "XXXXXXXXXXX")
  	       .setDataCenter([YOUR_DATA_CENTER])
  	       .build()
  MoEngage.initialiseDefaultInstance(moEngage)
  ```

  ```java Java theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
  // this is the instance of the application class and "XXXXXXXXXXX" is the APP ID from the dashboard.
  MoEngage moEngage = new MoEngage.Builder(this, "XXXXXXXXXXX")
    	            .setDataCenter([YOUR_DATA_CENTER])
  		    .build(); 
  MoEngage.initialiseDefaultInstance(moEngage);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The following details the different data centers and dashboard hosts

| Data Center     | Dashboard host            |
| --------------- | ------------------------- |
| DATA\_CENTER\_1 | dashboard-01.moengage.com |
| DATA\_CENTER\_2 | dashboard-02.moengage.com |
| DATA\_CENTER\_3 | dashboard-03.moengage.com |
| DATA\_CENTER\_4 | dashboard-04.moengage.com |
| DATA\_CENTER\_5 | dashboard-05.moengage.com |

<Warning>
  **Important**

  The dashboard host URL provides the Data Center information of your account. Ensure that you contact your account manager or [raise a support ticket](https://help.moengage.com/hc/en-us/articles/19708702327572-Raise-a-Support-Ticket-Through-MoEngage-Dashboard) to know the data center before you change the data center in the Android SDK.
