Self-Hosted

Self-hosted means that your intranet is installed and maintained on servers that you control - either on-premise or in a private cloud - rather than hosted by a third-party provider.

For banks and credit unions, a self-hosted intranet can offer greater control over security, compliance, and data ownership. It may be preferred by institutions with strict internal IT policies or specific infrastructure requirements.

Why It Matters

  • Gives your IT team full control over system access and updates
  • Supports compliance with internal security or regulatory policies
  • Eliminates reliance on third-party hosting platforms
  • Can be tailored to meet specific network and authentication requirements

How SimplifyIT Helps

We offer self-hosted deployment for financial institutions that require full control. You can install our intranet platform on your own servers - on-premise or in a secure private cloud - while still receiving updates and support from our team.

Common Questions

What does self-hosted mean?
It means your intranet runs on servers that you control, either at your office (on-premise) or in your own private cloud. You're not relying on a vendor's hosting.
Why would a bank or credit union want a self-hosted intranet?
Some institutions prefer more control over data, security, and access. Self-hosting helps meet internal policies or compliance rules that restrict third-party platforms.
Is self-hosted the same as on-premise?
Not exactly. On-premise means it's installed on physical servers at your location. Self-hosted also includes private cloud options - servers you rent but fully control.
Does SimplifyIT support self-hosted deployments?
Yes. You can install our intranet software on your own servers and still get updates and support from our team.
Do we have to manage everything ourselves?
You manage the server and security. We handle the software side - updates, bug fixes, and support. It's a shared approach.
