For businesses that want full control and no per-user licensing cost. Self-hosting takes real IT or developer skills to install, secure, and maintain.

Paid from

Fully managed hosting from £50/month, which requires Standard Support (£1,200 for 10 hours, 20% off with hosting): about £1,560/year in total
