Should I choose a self-hosted or a cloud business app?
Choose cloud (online plans) if you want to start fast with no server work and pay monthly. Choose a self-hosted, branded copy if you want your own domain, branding and data on your own hosting, and can manage hosting with support. Many small businesses start with cloud. PalmGro Flow offers both.
Cloud (online plans)
- Start in minutes, no server needed.
- Monthly or yearly plans.
- Updates arrive automatically.
- Provider handles hosting, backups and security.
- Data lives on the provider's servers, separated per company.
Self-hosted (your own copy)
- Your domain, your branding.
- Data on your own hosting and database.
- One-time setup fee plus optional maintenance.
- You or your provider manage hosting, backups and server updates.
- Good for agencies offering a branded app or businesses with strict data needs.
How to decide
- Quick start, low effort: cloud.
- Your own brand and domain: self-hosted or white-label.
- Data on your own server: self-hosted.
- Lowest upfront cost: cloud.
How PalmGro Flow helps
PalmGro Flow is available as online plans at palmgroflow.com/app, and as branded copies on your own hosting with your name and logo. Both get updates, and paid add-ons can be switched on later. See white-label software and pricing.
Questions people ask
Is self-hosted more secure than cloud?

Can I move from cloud to self-hosted later?
Ask the provider. Planning it early makes the move easier.
