One of Hudu’s key strengths is its flexibility in deployment. Depending on your needs, you can choose between cloud-hosted and self-hosted options. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide:
Cloud-Hosted
Managed by Hudu: Simplify your workflow by letting us handle updates, backups, and maintenance.
Quick Setup: Ideal for businesses looking to get started immediately with minimal IT involvement.
Scalability: No need to worry about server infrastructure or capacity—our cloud hosting grows with you.
Compliance Ready: Our cloud hosting is SOC 2 Type II compliant, ensuring top-tier security and reliability. Learn more about our compliance at compliance.hudu.com.
Self-Hosted
Full Control: Perfect for businesses that prefer to manage their own infrastructure and data.
Customizable: Tailor your environment to fit unique security or operational requirements.
Independent Updates: Decide when and how updates are applied to your instance.
What to Consider
IT Resources: Self-hosting requires a dedicated server and someone to manage it, while cloud-hosted removes that responsibility.
Knowledge and Expertise: Managing a self-hosted instance securely and efficiently requires a deep understanding of server management and security protocols. Without this expertise, cloud-hosted might be the safer and more efficient choice.
