DynamicWeb 10 can be hosted in several different ways depending on how much infrastructure control, operational responsibility, and platform flexibility you need.
Use this page to choose the hosting model that fits your solution and then continue to the detailed setup guide for that option.
Choose a hosting model
DynamicWeb 10 supports these primary hosting approaches:
- DynamicWeb Cloud Use this when you want DynamicWeb to operate the hosting environment, handle updates, and manage core platform operations
- IIS Use this when you want a Windows-based deployment model with direct server control and a familiar self-hosted setup
- Azure Use this when you want to run DynamicWeb in Microsoft Azure using App Services and Azure SQL
- Docker Use this when you want a container-based deployment model and are comfortable managing storage, networking, and operations
The core DynamicWeb application is the same, but the surrounding operational model changes depending on where you run it.
The biggest differences are usually:
- Who manages application updates
- How the database is provisioned and maintained
- How the
Filesfolder is stored and backed up - How scaling, monitoring, and recovery are handled
- How much access you have to the underlying host environment
