Shared Hosting
Shared hosting is ideal for small to medium-sized projects that require basic performance and scalability. Shared hosting has multiple sites sharing server resources. This makes shared hosting very cost-effective.
Representation of sites and benches in a common server
Site: Your private database instance
When you create a new instance of a Frappe application you create a site that looks like nova.erpnext.com. A site is a dedicated database housed in a common server. Like any other web-based SaaS application, multiple sites share the resources of a server. You can customize the subdomain for your site or continue with the default subdomain. You can install multiple Frappe applications on one site. Yes, you heard that right! You're not supposed to pay separately for any new app.
Private and Shared Benches
Benches are a stack of containers to host multiple sites in an isolated environment for specific versions and applications. Benches offer you with more customization capabilities.
Any new site is by default created under a shared bench which is managed by the Frappe team. Shared benches simplify hosting tasks as you experience automated upgrades and quick access to 15+ Frappe applications. It is ideal for companies looking for out-of-the-box apps with minimal customisations.
Hosting your sites on private benches creates an isolated environment for deployment and unlocks deeper control for your deployments. It helps you manage your upgrades, install custom apps, get SSH access, and more. With a private bench, you get access to 150+ ready-to-use Frappe applications available on the marketplace.
