### Endpoints & Regions

LaserStream WebSocket server availability depends on your plan:

| Plan | Access |
|------|--------|
| **Free** | Shared server — Amsterdam, Europe (`ams`) |
| **Developer, Business, Professional** | Multi-region (see endpoint table below) |

Free plan users connect to a **single shared WebSocket server** located in Amsterdam. All free tier connections route through this server.

Paid plan users are automatically routed to the closest available region for optimal latency. Available regions:

| Region | Location |
|--------|----------|
| **ewr** | Newark, NJ (near New York) |
| **pitt** | Pittsburgh, US (Central) |
| **slc** | Salt Lake City, US (West Coast) |
| **ams** | Amsterdam, Europe |
| **fra** | Frankfurt, Europe |
| **tyo** | Tokyo, Asia |
| **sgp** | Singapore, Asia |

<Note>
Your WebSocket endpoint is available in the [Helius Dashboard](https://dashboard.helius.dev).
