When to choose self-hosted
Use the corporate path when procurement, data residency, internal security review or infrastructure ownership rules make shared SaaS unsuitable.
What is included
A dedicated installation can include private deployment, hardening baseline, update workflow, backup strategy, restore testing and technical documentation.
Implementation planning
Define hosting environment, database, TLS, mail delivery, backup retention, access policy, monitoring, update windows and responsibility boundaries before launch.
