This article explains your options for customizing your Island or Private Region.
 
===What can I customize when I first order my Private Region?===
 
With your Region order, you can specify the following customizations:
 
* '''Name''': You can select a unique name when creating the Region. See the [[Linden Lab Official:Guidelines for Private Region Naming|Guidelines for Private Region Naming]] for details.
* '''Terrain shape''': You can select from one of the six predesigned templates (including flat green land and open water).
* '''Estate:''' You can assign your Region to its own Estate, or to an Estate you already own (with other Private Regions owned by you). Your [[Linden Lab Official:Estate FAQ|Estate]] tools allow you to control settings for more than one Region at once.
 
===What can I customize once I own the Region?===
 
As Estate owner, you have access to the Region/Estate menu, under World. This provides you with several other options to customize your Region:
 
* '''Water height''': You may specify the height sea level reaches on your Region.
* '''Terrain textures''': You can use almost any texture for terrain. You can specify low-resolution textures as well as high-resolution textures, and configure at what heights they shift from one to another. There's more information on terrain textures in the [[The Region/Estate window|Estate Tools]] article.
* '''Fixed sun position''': You can lock the sun at a specific time of day or night.
* '''Terraform''': You can lower or raise your terrain 100m from the height at which it was created. This is usually sufficient for nearly any type of terrain (including very dramatic cliffs).
* '''Custom terrain files''': You can save your terrain to a .RAW image file, edit it in a program such as Photoshop, and upload it back into Second Life to instantly make wide-sweeping changes to your Region's terrain.
* '''Agent limit:''' You may control how many avatars can visit your Regon at the same time, anywhere from one to over one hundred.
* '''Parcel activity:''' You can decide whether to allow [[Linden Lab Official:How do I rent land to other people|renters]] to sell their parcels to other Residents, and whether they can subdivide the parcels they rent.
* '''Teleport routing:''' You can use a telehub to force Residents to land at a specific location in your Region, or you can allow Direct Teleporting, so Residents can use landmarks or the world map teleport wherever they would like.
* '''Access:''' You can close your Private Region to everyone except your friends and colleagues, or you can open it to everyone in Second Life! You may also ban specific Residents by name if they cause trouble.
