Choosing the right Odoo hosting solution has a bigger impact on your business than most people realise. The wrong choice means slow deployments, unexpected downtime, support tickets that go nowhere, and infrastructure that stops scaling when you need it most.
In 2026, three platforms represent three genuinely different philosophies for how to host Odoo: a fully managed service with contractual SLA and security certification, the official Odoo platform built for Enterprise developers, and a server management tool for teams that want to control their own infrastructure. Each makes sense for a specific type of business and makes no sense for others.
Here is an honest breakdown of all three.
1. Skysize - Fully Managed Odoo Hosting With a Formal SLA
Skysize is a managed Odoo hosting provider based in Belgium, founded by former Odoo employees. It offers subscription-based hosting plans for both Odoo Community and Enterprise editions, with a focus on production-grade reliability, certified security, and a professional deployment workflow.
What sets Skysize apart
ISO 27001 certified infrastructure. Skysize is independently audited and certified to the international standard for information security management. This is not a self-assessment, it is a third-party certification. For businesses in regulated industries or those that need to demonstrate vendor compliance to their own clients, this is often a non-negotiable requirement. Neither Odoo.sh nor Cloudpepper holds this certification.
Contractual 99.95% uptime SLA. Skysize's SLA is written into your subscription agreement. Standard plans commit to 99.95% uptime, a maximum of 4 hours and 22 minutes of unplanned downtime per year. Dedicated plans commit to 99.99%. If Skysize misses the target, service credits apply automatically. There is no equivalent contractual commitment from the other two platforms.
Community and Enterprise both supported. Unlike Odoo.sh, which only accepts Odoo Enterprise deployments, Skysize hosts both editions on the same managed infrastructure at the same subscription price. Businesses on Odoo Community Edition, including those using OCA modules and custom addons, are fully supported.
Git deployment across all major providers. Connect your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository. Push to your branch and Skysize builds and deploys automatically. Staging environments, neutralised clones of your production instance, let you test every change before it goes live. Up to 20 staging environments available per instance.
Subscription plans, not surprises. Skysize is priced on subscription plans based on workers and storage, not per user, not per minute. You know what you're paying each month. Plans are available across multiple regions with pricing adapted to local markets. See plans and pricing →
Founded by Odoo insiders. The team includes former Odoo employees with hands-on experience shipping patches upstream and working with Odoo at the source code level. When something unusual happens, Skysize support can tell you why, not just that it happened.
Who Skysize is built for
- Businesses that need contractual uptime guarantees and certified security
- Teams running Odoo Community Edition who can't use Odoo.sh
- Developers who use GitLab or Bitbucket and want the same workflow as Odoo.sh
- Odoo agencies managing multiple client instances who want a partner programme
- Companies in regulated industries: healthcare, finance, public sector

2. Odoo.sh - The Official Development Platform
Odoo.sh is the official Platform-as-a-Service solution built and operated by Odoo S.A. It is designed specifically for Odoo Enterprise developers and provides deep integration with the Odoo development workflow.
What Odoo.sh does well
Official integration. As Odoo's own platform, Odoo.sh has first-party access to the Odoo ecosystem. New features, version releases, and platform updates arrive here first. For teams building deeply on Odoo Enterprise and deploying frequently, this integration has real value.
Git-based deployment with GitHub. Push to a GitHub branch and Odoo.sh builds and deploys automatically. Staging environments, build logs, and a shell for direct access are all included. The workflow is clean and well-documented.
Managed infrastructure. Odoo S.A. manages all server operations, SSL, DNS, backups, and monitoring. You focus on Odoo development, not server administration.
Odoo.sh limitations worth knowing
Enterprise only. This is the most significant restriction. Odoo.sh does not support Odoo Community Edition. If you or your clients run Community, Odoo.sh is simply not an option. There is no workaround.
GitHub only. Odoo.sh integrates exclusively with GitHub. Teams using GitLab, Bitbucket, or self-hosted Git repositories cannot use Odoo.sh without migrating their entire version control workflow.
No formal SLA. Odoo.sh does not publish a contractual uptime SLA. Support is handled through an online form with no committed response time. For businesses that need infrastructure commitments in writing, this is a gap.
Shared hosting limitations. Standard plans run on shared infrastructure, multiple databases per server. For high-traffic or performance-sensitive deployments, this can create bottlenecks.
Shortly lived Staging branches. Staging deployments on odoo.sh only live for 30days, after that it is erased and replace by a new snapshot in production. This mean that if you have difficult to setup integrations, you will need to redo them every month.
Who Odoo.sh is built for
- Development teams fully committed to Odoo Enterprise
- Businesses already using GitHub as their primary Git platform
- Companies that prioritise official Odoo integration over SLA or certification requirements
3. CloudPepper - Server Management for Teams That Own Their Infrastructure
Cloudpepper is a Belgian hosting platform founded in 2023 that takes a fundamentally different approach: rather than providing managed cloud infrastructure, it provides a management layer that runs on top of servers you already own or provision yourself. This is known as the Bring Your Own Server (BYOS) model.
What Cloudpepper does well
Bring Your Own Server. You provision a server on any cloud provider (AWS, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, or your own hardware) and connect it to Cloudpepper's dashboard. Cloudpepper then automates the Odoo deployment, security hardening, backups, and monitoring on top of it. You retain full ownership of the server and the data on it.
Flat-fee pricing. Cloudpepper charges a flat monthly platform fee regardless of how many users or instances you run on a given server. For agencies managing large numbers of client instances, this model can be cost-effective at scale.
Community and Enterprise both supported. Cloudpepper supports both Odoo editions across versions 11–19, which gives it broader version coverage than Skysize's current 16–19 range.
Agency whitelabel. The Agency plan includes a whitelabel client portal under your own domain and branding, making it specifically suited for Odoo partners managing fleets of client deployments.
No vendor lock-in on data. If you cancel Cloudpepper, your server and your data remain intact. Odoo continues to run, though all management features (backups, security, monitoring) stop immediately.
Cloudpepper limitations worth knowing
You own the infrastructure risk. Cloudpepper manages Odoo on your server but if the server goes down, that is your problem, not Cloudpepper's. There is no SLA on hardware you provision yourself. Availability depends entirely on the cloud provider you chose and how you sized the instance.
No security certifications. Cloudpepper applies security hardening and generates SSL certificates automatically, but holds no ISO 27001, SOC 2, or equivalent certification. For businesses with compliance requirements, this is a practical obstacle.
No published uptime SLA. Cloudpepper markets a "guaranteed SLA" on its comparison pages but publishes no specific uptime percentage for standard plans. There is no public status page.
Support quality has been inconsistent. In mid-2025, Cloudpepper replaced live chat support with an AI bot, resulting in a documented period of multi-day response times. A new ticketing system has since been introduced. Priority support is available only on the $250/month Agency plan.
Company is very early stage. Cloudpepper was founded in 2023 with two co-founders. For enterprise procurement processes that include vendor risk assessment, the company's age and size may be a consideration.
Who Cloudpepper is built for
- Businesses or developers that already have cloud provider accounts and want to use existing infrastructure
- Agencies managing 30+ client instances who want a flat monthly fee regardless of headcount
- Teams that want full SSH root access to a dedicated server they control
- Businesses that do not require formal security certifications or a quantified SLA

How to choose
Choose Skysize if you want fully managed hosting where the infrastructure is completely off your plate, you need a contractual SLA and ISO 27001 certification, you run Odoo Community Edition, or you use GitLab or Bitbucket for version control.
Choose Odoo.sh if you run Odoo Enterprise exclusively, your entire team uses GitHub, and official Odoo integration is more important to you than a formal SLA or competitive pricing.
Choose Cloudpepper if you have existing cloud infrastructure you want to use, you want full server ownership and data portability, or you manage a large number of client instances and want a predictable flat fee.
