Cloud-hosted vs self-hosted Engine

In this support article you’ll learn the difference and help you decide between cloud-hosted and self-hosted thirdweb Engine. Without further ado, let’s get started!

Cloud-Hosted

  • We'll install, host, and manage for you.
  • Database hosting is on us.
  • Request a version upgrade for your Engine with a click of a button.
  • DDoS protected.
  • Performance, scalability, accessibility, and availability are on us.

Self-Hosted

  • You'll have to install, host, and manage yourself.
  • You’ll have to take care of your database hosting.
  • You'll have to update your installation manually.
  • You'll set up your own DDoS protection.
  • Performance, scalability, accessibility, and availability will depend on how you set it up and your hosting provider.
 

If you want to proceed with the cloud-hosted setup, go to your dashboard and click “Add to my plan,” and we’ll create an instance for you to focus on your projects.

💡
You won't be charged until your Engine instance is deployed.
