Azure: How to change location of App service and App Service plan on BizSpark subscription

My startup company got an Azure BizSpark subscription. I have just created an API App and App service plan. Our company is located in Northern Europe but the location of both the API service and the App service plan is "South Central US". I did not see any options to specify the location when I created the API app. I also don't see any options to change the location now that the app is created. Is this a limitation of the BizSpark subscription or can I somehow change the location?

You cannot change the location of an app service plan, regardless of subscription type. You simply need to create a new app service plan in the region you want, and then redeploy your code.

Whilst you can't move the server you can backup of a server then create a new one using the backup as the base.

This is often easier than starting from scratch.
