# URL & Environments

> The base URL of the Lucca API depends on your account, region and environment.

| Environment    | Purpose                                                                                                                                     |
| :------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Production** | **Live data**. Deploy there once tested.                                                                                                    |
| **Test**       | **Testing**. There can only be one test environment, contrary to sandboxes. Data refresh from production must be requested through support. |
| **Sandbox**    | **Testing**. There can be multiple sandboxes, and you can freely restore its data with a snapshot from production. Paid feature.            |
| **Demo**       | **Discovery**. Made for companies to test out Lucca while not being paying customers yet. Populated with sample data.                       |

  <Step title="Environment">
    Outside of sandboxes, there are three types of environments:

    * **Production** `ilucca`: the one containing your live data.
    * **Test** `ilucca-test`: a sandboxed snapshot of your production environment for testing purposes.
    * **Demo** `ilucca-demo`: a demonstration environment for prospects that do not have a Lucca account (yet).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Region">
    As of now, there are two possible regions:

    * Europe `.net`;
    * Switzerland `.ch`.
