Hi Team
Is there any difference between hosting services listed below.
https://www.discourse.org/pricing
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
You can take a look here: What are some reputable managed Discourse hosting providers out there?
You can also self-host Discourse since it’s open-source software.
There is us 
https://www.communiteq.com/
In contrast to a one time installation service we take full responsibility for the availability and correct functioning of your forum, we make sure your forum software is up-to-date, and we make sure the servers have all the security patches they need.
Richard is it possible for you to host it in our infrastructure and add any of your employee for managing our discourse. Few details about us.
BYJUs is a Unicorn start based out of India. BYJUs is into educational technology space. We wanted to integrate discourse as a discussion forum for the students like discussion forum in Coursera for eg. We are very fast moving organisation and want to get this discussion forum up and running as soon as we can. It would be helpful if we can get on call at the earliest possible time to have a discussion around this.
I have sent you a PM.
Though one-time installations is a part of the business (It’s the bread and butter), Literate Computing also provides a wide range of support services, including hourly consulting, deployment on specialized configurations, and management on customer infrastructure (it pays the rent).
I am a Communiteq (formerly DiscourseHosting) customer and highly recommend them!
但是你们为什么不允许用户通过 SSH 安装他们喜欢的插件？这就像把我们当人质。
我说得对吗，还是我应该等支持团队联系我？
我反对“劫持人质”这个术语。除了我觉得将商业情况与此类罪行相提并论既无味又可笑之外，它还暗示客户无法离开我们的托管服务，但事实并非如此——您可以下载备份并随时随地更改您的 DNS 和主机。
当某个插件不在可安装插件列表中时，请联系我们，告知您想安装哪个插件。我们将对其进行审查，并在其稳定且符合您的计划限制的情况下，在 12 小时内为您安装。
我们不允许您自行安装插件，因为我们提供的是托管服务，可以防止您的论坛崩溃或宕机。如果我们允许客户拥有 SSH 访问权限和/或安装我们不知道的插件，我们就无法承担这项责任。
如果您擅长使用 ssh，为什么不自己托管？
所以，在限制中，入门包里只有 5 个。如果我需要更多，该怎么办？
不，入门套餐包含 12 个（已修复）插件。
在专业套餐中，您可以安装 5 个由 Communiteq、Discourse 或 Pavilion 制作的额外插件。在商务套餐中，您可以安装最多 10 个由任何人制作的插件（只要它们编写得好）。如果您需要更多，请联系我们，我们将讨论您的需求。
哦，真的吗？那太好了。即使是 8 个插件也可以在入门计划中完成工作。
嗯，我会为我的其他论坛考虑它，或者在我的论坛获得良好曝光后迁移到你们这里。
