Dolibarr can run on different types of hosting. The right choice depends less on the plan name than on the responsibilities your company wants to keep: installation, updates, backups, monitoring, support and restoration.

Shared hosting can suit a small installation when the company understands web administration or already has a technical provider. The PHP version, database, execution limits, scheduled tasks, available space and backups must then be checked.
A managed service is more suitable when the company wants to entrust the technical environment to a provider that knows Dolibarr. The plan scope, especially support, updates, restoration and migration, must still be checked precisely.
| Compared item | Standard shared hosting | KSIDol Dolibarr hosting | Question to ask before choosing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Installation and configuration are handled by the customer or its provider. | A Dolibarr instance is prepared in the KSIDol environment. | Who installs and configures Dolibarr? |
| PHP and database | Versions and settings depend on the hosting plan. | The technical environment is administered according to KSIDol platform requirements. | Who checks versions and settings? |
| SSL | Available according to the hosting plan and configured when required. | HTTPS access is included in the relevant plans. | Is the certificate provided and renewed? |
| Backups | Configured and checked using the hosting provider’s tools. | Technical database and document backups according to the plan. | What does the backup contain and how is it restored? |
| Dolibarr updates | Organized by the customer or its provider. | Scheduled according to the plan, version and intervention scope. | Who prepares, tests and applies updates? |
| User support | Not normally provided by a general hosting company. | Optional and not included in Essential. | Who helps when a user encounters a problem? |
| Migration | Handled by the customer or another service provider. | Available after a review of the existing instance. | Who transfers the database, documents and modules? |
| Dolibarr modules | Installed under the customer’s responsibility. | Installation and compatibility can be reviewed as a separate service. | Who checks extension compatibility? |
| Website and ERP | Both applications may share the same hosting account. | Separating the website and ERP is recommended to reduce dependencies. | Can a website change affect Dolibarr? |
KSIDol provides a hosted Dolibarr instance from €24 per month for 2 users and 10 GB. This plan includes SSL and the technical backups provided by the plan. Support, migration, training and development are provided separately (support optional from €19 excl. VAT per month).
This separation lets you select only the services you need. A company starting out can use Essential alone. A company migrating or using specific modules can add a suitable service.
Yes, provided the environment meets the technical requirements and installation, backups and updates are managed correctly.
No. Scope varies by provider and plan. At KSIDol, support is not included in Essential.
This separation is recommended to limit dependencies between the ERP and website, which do not use the same modules or update cycles.
