# How do I migrate my Droplet to another datacenter region?

If you want to migrate your Droplet to another datacenter region, you need to create a [snapshot](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/snapshots/index.html.md) of your Droplet and then create a new Droplet from the snapshot in the new datacenter region. Snapshots are complete copies of your Droplet’s hard disk that are saved as a disk image that you can create additional Droplets from. Snapshots only contain the data that resides on the disk at the time the snapshot was taken.

To do migrate a Droplet using a snapshot, see [How to Migrate Droplets Using DigitalOcean Snapshots](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/snapshots/how-to/migrate-droplets/index.html.md).
