## Determining which {% data variables.product.company_short %} product you use
|
|
|
|
You can determine which {% data variables.product.company_short %} plan you're currently using by reviewing the URL in the address bar of your browser and the heading for the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} website you're on.
|
|
|
|
You may use more than one {% data variables.product.company_short %} plan. For example, you might contribute to open source on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} and collaborate on code on your employer's {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance. You may need to view different versions of the same article at different times, depending on the problem you're currently trying to solve.

|
|
### {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} plans or {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}
|
|
|
|
If you access {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} at https://github.com, you're either using the features of a Free, Pro, or Team plan, or you're using {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}.
|
|
|
|
On {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, each account has its own plan. Each personal account has an associated plan that provides access to certain features, and each organization has a different associated plan. If your personal account is a member of an organization on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, you may have access to different features when you use resources owned by that organization than when you use resources owned by your personal account. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/get-started/learning-about-github/types-of-github-accounts).
|
|
|
|
If you don't know whether an organization uses {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}, ask an organization owner. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-your-membership-in-organizations/viewing-peoples-roles-in-an-organization).
|
|
|
|
### {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_site %}
|
|
|
|
If you access {% data variables.product.github %} at a subdomain of {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_site %}, such as `octocorp.ghe.com`, you're part of an enterprise that uses {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency %}. You should use the "{% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}" version of {% data variables.product.prodname_docs %}.
|
|
|
|
Because you're using a {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_user %}, certain parts of the documentation may not apply to you. See [AUTOTITLE](/enterprise-cloud@latest/admin/managing-iam/understanding-iam-for-enterprises/abilities-and-restrictions-of-managed-user-accounts).
|
|
|
|
If you see references to "github.com" in the documentation, you may need to substitute these references for your enterprise's subdomain on {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_site %}. For example, you will make API calls to `https://{% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_api %}`, rather than `https://api.github.com`.
|
|
|
|
### {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}
|
|
|
|
If you access {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} at a URL **other than** https://github.com, `https://*.github.us`, or `https://*.ghe.com`, you're using {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}. For example, you may access {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} at `https://github.YOUR-COMPANY-NAME.com`. Your administrators may choose a URL that doesn't include the word "{% data variables.product.company_short %}."
|
|
|
|
In a wide browser window, the word "Enterprise" immediately follows the {% data variables.product.company_short %} logo on the left side of the header.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can view the version of {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} that you're using in the footer of any page.
