Through this blog, I am trying to provide a basic idea about hosting options for our odoo software. So first we need to know about hosting.
So let's look at the basic needs for odoo hosting
- * Min 2 CPU cores
- * 1 to 4 GB RAM
- * Bandwidth & Space should be around 10 GB to 20 GB
These are the basic requirements needed to be satisfied. And it will vary according to our user requirements.
The following are the four options we are going to discuss through our blog.
1. In House Hosting.
2. Cloud Hosting.
3. Odoo Sh.
4. Odoo Online.
And Now let's go through each option in detail.
1. In house hosting:
In-house hosting is nothing but installing odoo in a local machine or on a server. It Can be more cost-effective for small to middle-sized companies.
You can configure proper backup to some external source like google drive etc. It gives you physical control over your backup.
We can access the system from the same n/w and also can access it with a VPN configuration. But it requires capital investment for hardware and infrastructure.
2. Cloud hosting:
Cloud hosting is the process of outsourcing an organization's storage and computing infrastructure.
Hosting Providers can be divided into two types :
- Unmanaged server provider.
The managed server provider is the best option if you are a beginner because you will get assistance in Odoo installation, monitoring, optimization, etc.
You can choose an unmanaged server provider if you have an idea about how to install it, optimize it, monitor it. You are supposed to do everything on the server.
Following are some examples for managed and unmanaged server providers:
