# Getting started

Quadratic is self-hostable software. Many enterprise customers and privacy-oriented individual users have voiced a desire for self-hosted deployments to their hardware/corporate cloud environments for added data security and controls.&#x20;

Self-hosting support is offered for business and enterprise.&#x20;

You can get started with self-hosting [here](https://selfhost.quadratichq.com/).&#x20;

## Providers

* [AWS](https://docs.quadratichq.com/self-hosting/aws)
* [Docker](https://docs.quadratichq.com/self-hosting/docker) (best for personal users and small teams that don't use a cloud provider)

### Not officially supported

This list is not officially supported (yet). You can [contact us](https://quadratichq.com/contact), and we'll walk you through how to make these hosted solutions work. Please note that we are in the process of writing documentation and testing all the edge cases for these deployments so there may still be some issues.

* [Azure](https://docs.quadratichq.com/self-hosting/azure)
* [Google Cloud Platform (GCP)](https://docs.quadratichq.com/self-hosting/google-cloud-platform)
* [Any other mainstream cloud ](https://docs.quadratichq.com/self-hosting/other-hosting)&#x20;

Enterprises can [Contact us](https://quadratichq.com/contact) for help deploying with any of these other options.&#x20;

## Security&#x20;

By self-hosting, you are guaranteeing your data stays within your cloud under your company's data controls.&#x20;

Note that the Quadratic Cloud is also [SOC II and HIPAA compliant](https://trust.quadratichq.com/).&#x20;

The code deployed to your self-hosted environment is the same as the code [in our source-available GitHub repo](https://github.com/quadratichq/quadratic).&#x20;

## License key

You'll first need to gather a license key from <https://selfhost.quadratichq.com>. Quadratic self-hosting is free for individuals and priced per user for business and enterprise users.&#x20;

If you are a business or enterprise user of self-hosting, please [contact us](https://quadratichq.com/contact) to get set up with a business or enterprise license key. Individual users can generate a free license key from <https://selfhost.quadratichq.com>.
