Managed Odoo hosting locks you in.
Managed platforms keep your infrastructure in the vendor's account, behind their tooling. CloudWady flips it — your servers, your cloud, standard Postgres, nothing proprietary.
What lock-in actually looks like
Lock-in is rarely a single locked door. It's a series of small dependencies that only become visible when you try to leave. The platform owns the cloud account, so you can't see or move the underlying servers. The dashboard owns the deploy flow, so your release process only exists inside their UI.
None of it is malicious — it's just the natural shape of a fully managed service. But it means your exit cost grows quietly with every project you add, and the answer to "what happens if we leave?" gets fuzzier every quarter.
Where the rope tightens
The cloud account isn't yours
The servers run inside the vendor's account. You can't SSH in, resize on your own terms, or take the infrastructure with you when the contract ends.
The deploy flow is theirs
Your build, staging, and release process lives in a proprietary console. Rebuilding it elsewhere means re-learning how to ship.
Backups you can't reach
Backups sit in storage the platform controls. You can usually download a dump, but the retention, schedule, and keys aren't in your hands.
Exit cost grows silently
Each new project deepens the dependency. By the time leaving makes financial sense, untangling it is its own project.
The CloudWady answer: nothing to hold hostage
CloudWady is a control plane, not a landlord. You connect your own cloud account — Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS, or a server you already run — and CloudWady deploys into it. The instances, the disks, the network all sit under your login, billed directly by your provider at their raw rate. We never resell the cloud and never put a markup on it.
What runs on top is plain Odoo against plain PostgreSQL. No forked runtime, no proprietary database layer, no custom format you'd have to decode later. If you ever cancel CloudWady, the running application doesn't change — it's the same standard stack it was the day before.
What you own from day one
- The cloud account and every server inside it
- Root on the database, SSH on the host
- Your backups, in storage you control, with your keys
- A standard Odoo filestore and Postgres dump — portable anywhere
- Your custom and OCA modules, straight from your Git repos
What happens if you cancel
- The servers keep running — they were always in your account
- The database keeps serving — standard Postgres, untouched
- Your backups stay where they are — you hold the keys
- No proprietary lock to unwind, no data to extract under pressure
- You lose the control plane, not the application
Operated in the EU, residency you choose
The control plane is operated by syscoon GmbH in Germany, under EU data-protection law. Because the workload runs in your own cloud account, you decide where it physically lives — EU-only for GDPR, a customer-specific region, or your existing infrastructure. The residency decision stays yours, not a fixed choice handed down by the platform.
Own your infrastructure from the first deploy.
Connect your cloud account, push your repo, and watch it go live in minutes — on servers you control, with nothing locking you in. Cancel anytime and keep everything.
