# How is Hodiploy a compelling alternative to the Odoo.sh interface?

|| Hodiploy was designed by the Hodi teams to give integrators a management interface that is more complete, more flexible and closer to real-world needs than the standard Odoo.sh interface.

Directly connected to your Hodi account, Hodiploy lets you **create, edit and administer your Odoo instances entirely on your own.** You no longer just deploy a project: you actually run your infrastructure.

From a single interface you can **fine-tune the resources allocated to each instance** (CPU, RAM, worker count), **adapt the power** as your clients grow, and evolve the environment without friction. That agility optimises performance while keeping costs under control.

Hodiploy also simplifies advanced technical management. You can **connect your GitHub account** in one click or plug in **any Git repository over SSH**, **choose a** hodiploy.app **subdomain** or **register a dedicated domain** through Hodi, **configure a custom SMTP server**, choose the **Community or Enterprise edition**, and control your instance settings precisely.

**Update management is more flexible too**: you decide when and how your instances evolve, with a granularity suited to demanding production environments.

**The full lifecycle of an instance is covered**, and that is often where the day-to-day difference shows:

* **Automatic nightly backups**, plus the backups you trigger on demand, with the option to **lock** some so they are never overwritten
* **Restoring** a backup set onto the instance itself, or **into a new instance**, which gives you a test environment faithful to production in minutes
* **Duplicating** a complete instance, code, database and attachments
* **Recovering a deleted instance**, its backups outliving the deletion by a few days
* **Importing** an Odoo.sh, Odoo Online or on-premise export, self-service
* A full **activity log** per instance: who did what, when, and with what result
* **Downloading** a backup, piece by piece, in standard formats: your data leaves the platform whenever you decide
* A **terminal in the browser**, inside the instance's Odoo container, with no SSH key
* **Resource usage graphs** (processor, memory, network, disk), from the last hour to the last month, measured by the server itself
* **Addon services** alongside the ERP, in a few clicks: Redis, MinIO, Gotenberg, ClamAV

In short, where Odoo.sh offers a standardised framework, Hodiploy offers a more open, more customisable management platform, designed for integrators who want to build their own offering, keep control of their architecture and deliver a premium service to their clients.
