Frequently Asked Questions

What does self-hosted mean?
Self-hosted means you run the exchange software on your own servers or cloud infrastructure. You have complete control over the deployment, data, and operations. There are no ongoing license fees or dependencies on third-party services for core functionality.
Do I need to manage my own servers?
Yes. Self-hosted deployment requires server infrastructure, either physical servers or cloud instances. You'll need system administration capability to maintain the servers, apply updates, and ensure uptime.
Is the source code included?
Yes. You receive complete, unencrypted source code. This allows you to modify any aspect of the platform, add features, integrate with your existing systems, and audit the code for security.
What are the benefits of self-hosting versus SaaS?
Self-hosting gives you data sovereignty, customization freedom, no recurring fees, and no dependence on a vendor. SaaS is easier to start but comes with monthly costs, limited customization, and reliance on the provider.
Can I still get support with a self-hosted solution?
Yes. We offer technical support packages for self-hosted deployments. This includes help with installation, configuration, customization, and ongoing technical questions.
