Hosting Options

Your software, your choice

The xTuple server software can run on a server-class machine in your office, or off-site in a public or private cloud environment. All xTuple cloud deployments include Business Continuity — Off-site Backup and Disaster Recovery Service — to protect you from hardware failures and data loss.

Cloud Hosting
xTuple offers cloud hosting. We manage the IT and administration of your server component, provision the hardware and install the software for you, and you get up and running quickly and easily.
On-Premise Hosting
Users can install and run their own server or purchase server space from any cloud service provider, and can manage the server on their own locally or in the cloud, if appropriate IT resources are available in-house.

Operate in xTuple Cloud

Hosting your xTuple database in the cloud is the fastest, easiest way to use xTuple — the full Desktop client — PostBooks®, Distribution, Manufacturing or Enterprise Editions. All on the same database, hosted securely for you, powered by Amazon.

xTuple Stands for Freedom of Choice

Which is best for your Business?

As the price of storage and bandwidth continue to drop, cloud-based services become more attractive to businesses of all sizes seeking to reduce IT costs and focus fully on their core responsibility — growing the business. While on-premise deployment solutions give companies greater control over administration and the cloud delivers a cost effective alternative, there is no one-size-fits-all delivery model.

Simply put: it depends on what makes business sense, according to your company's needs.
