# Sites

> Organize the machines in your company by site (a datacenter, an office, a cloud account) before you register them as resources in Ironchip PAM.

URL: https://docs.ironchip.com/en/pam/administracion/sitios/

A site says where the machines are: a datacenter, an office or a cloud account. This page explains how to create sites. It is for whoever administers PAM resources.

Every resource belongs to a site, so create at least one before you register the first resource. A site says where the machines are, not who reaches them: that is decided by [accesses](https://docs.ironchip.com/en/pam/administracion/accesos/), with [target policies](https://docs.ironchip.com/en/pam/administracion/politicas/#target-policies) that can mix sites. For example, `Production Linux` can include servers in Madrid and in AWS.

With [Ironchip Connect](https://docs.ironchip.com/en/pam/conceptos/arquitectura/#ironchip-connect), each site has its own connector and the broker reaches the site's machines through it.

## Create a site

1. Go to **PAM > Hosts > Sites** and click **Add site**.

2. Enter a **Name** (up to 60 characters, unique in the company), for example `Madrid datacenter`.
3. Optionally, add a **Description (optional)**, for example `Rack B, through the Madrid connector`.
4. Click **Add site**.

## Change or delete a site

In the site's row, open **Options**:

- **Edit site** changes the name or the description.
- **Remove site** deletes it. You can only do this if the site has no resources: move them to another site or delete them first.

The **Targets** column counts the site's resources, including each machine's additional accounts.

## Next steps
