Hi Team

Is there any difference between hosting services listed below.

> **[Discourse pricing](https://www.discourse.org/pricing)**
>
> Official Discourse hosting plans for communities of every size.

[https://www.literatecomputing.com/discourse-installation-packages/](https://www.literatecomputing.com/discourse-installation-packages/)

And are there any other hosting services other than the above 2?  
The first one is very pricy and the second one from what I understand is a one time hosting service. If we have our own infrastructure is it better to go with 2nd one if there isnt any other hosting services?

Thank you
