1. Keep your cloud account
You authorize DigitalOcean directly. Its infrastructure charges remain between you and your provider.
Open source app. Managed deployment when you want it.
Put your community online without becoming its full-time sysadmin.
OpenCord stays self-hostable and free. OpenCord Deploy is the separate paid control plane that connects your own DigitalOcean account, creates the host, and gives you a clear operations dashboard.
2. Create a host once
Choose a region and server size; we create the Droplet, required firewall, and OpenCord bootstrap.
3. Add care when it matters
Care turns deployment into an operations relationship, with backup monitoring, restore help, and priority support.
Management plans
The app is free; reliable operations are the paid product.
