Odoo Hosting Options - Unisolva Infrastructure vs. Odoo.sh
When you implement Odoo with Unisolva, you choose where your ERP system is hosted. Unisolva offers two options: hosting on Unisolva’s own managed infrastructure, or hosting on Odoo.sh (Odoo’s official cloud platform). Both are fully supported by Unisolva - the difference is in control, pricing, and specific capabilities. This article compares the two so you can make an informed decision.
Option 1 - Unisolva Managed Infrastructure
Your Odoo instance runs on servers managed directly by Unisolva. This is the default option for most implementations.
What you get
- Dedicated or shared server resources depending on your plan
- Full server management by Unisolva - OS updates, security patches, performance tuning
- Automated daily backups with off-site redundancy
- SSL certificate included
- 95% uptime guarantee
- Direct server-level access for Unisolva’s team to troubleshoot and optimize
- Works with both Community and Enterprise editions
Best for
- Businesses that want Unisolva to manage everything end-to-end
- Community edition deployments (Odoo.sh does not support Community)
- Customers who need custom server configurations or specific compliance requirements
- Organizations that prefer a single vendor (Unisolva) for hosting and support
Option 2 - Odoo.sh (Odoo’s Official Cloud Platform)
Odoo.sh is Odoo S.A.’s own Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), designed specifically for hosting Odoo Enterprise. Unisolva manages your Odoo.sh instance on your behalf.
What you get
- Hosting on Odoo’s global cloud infrastructure
- Built-in staging and development environments for testing changes before production
- Git-based deployment - code changes are managed through version control
- Automated daily backups managed by Odoo.sh
- One-click upgrade path for new Odoo versions
- Direct integration with Odoo S.A.’s support and upgrade services
- Enterprise edition only - Odoo.sh does not support Community
Best for
- Enterprise edition customers who want Odoo’s native cloud experience
- Development teams that prefer Git-based workflows
- Businesses that plan frequent customizations and need staging/dev environments built in
- Organizations that want access to Odoo S.A.’s automated upgrade service

???? Tip Not sure which to pick? If you are using the Community edition, Unisolva infrastructure is your only option. If you are on Enterprise and want the simplest path with Odoo’s built-in staging and upgrades, Odoo.sh is a strong choice. For maximum control and a single-vendor relationship, Unisolva infrastructure is recommended. |
Can I Switch Later?
Yes. Migration between hosting options is possible, though it requires planning:
- Unisolva infrastructure → Odoo.sh - requires Enterprise license (if not already on Enterprise) and a coordinated database migration
- sh → Unisolva infrastructure - database export from Odoo.sh, import and configuration on Unisolva servers
- In both cases, Unisolva handles the migration for you. Open a support ticket to start the process.
|
⚠️ Warning Switching hosting platforms involves downtime (typically a few hours) for database migration and DNS updates. Plan the switch during a low-activity period and inform your team in advance. |
How to Choose
- If you are deploying Community edition → Unisolva infrastructure
- If you want a single vendor for everything → Unisolva infrastructure
- If you need custom server-level configurations → Unisolva infrastructure
- If you are on Enterprise and want built-in staging, Git workflows, and automated upgrades → Odoo.sh
- If you want access to Odoo S.A.’s upgrade service → Odoo.sh
