Choosing between OneHash Connect and Self-hosting

Whether signing up for OneHash Connect Cloud or self-hosting OneHash Connect is the right choice for you depends on the needs of your organization.
If you aren’t sure what you need, our high quality export and import tools (cloud, self-hosted) ensure you can always move from our hosting to yours (and back).
Advantages of OneHash Connect Cloud
• Simple managed solution, with no setup or maintenance overhead. Sign up with just a few clicks.
• Always updated to the latest version of OneHash Connect.
• Anyone can start with OneHash Connect Cloud Free. Free or heavily discounted OneHash Connect Cloud Standard pricing is available for most non-business uses.
Advantages of self-hosting OneHash Connect
• OneHash Connect is 100% open-source software, with no "open core" catch. When you self-host OneHash Connect, you get the same software as OneHash Connect Cloud Standard customers.
• Retain full control over your data and simplify compliance by self-hosting OneHash Connect behind your firewall.
• We work hard to make it easy to install, back up, and maintain a self-hosted OneHash Connect server. Self-host OneHash Connect directly on Ubuntu or Debian Linux, in Docker, or with prebuilt images for Digital Ocean and Render.
• Customize OneHash Connect for all your needs. It's easy to develop and maintain custom integrations and features.
