Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hosting Odoo Community Edition

Can I migrate Odoo Community to hosted?

Absolutely. OEC.sh specializes in hosting Odoo Community Edition. Whether you're running Community locally, on a VPS, or want to switch from self-hosted to managed hosting, we support seamless migration of your database, filestore, and custom modules. Your Community Edition setup works identically on OEC.sh with enterprise-grade infrastructure and automated backups.

Do I lose customizations when migrating?

No, you keep all customizations. Your custom modules, OCA addons, custom views, inherited models, and business logic all migrate seamlessly. Simply connect your Git repository (GitHub or GitLab) containing your custom modules to OEC.sh. We also preserve all database customizations, configurations, and data during migration. Learn more in our backup and recovery guide.

How long does migration take?

Most Odoo Community migrations complete in 1-4 hours depending on database size. A typical 10GB database takes about 2 hours including thorough testing. The process involves: exporting your data (30-60 min), creating your OEC.sh environment (10 min), importing data (30-60 min), configuring modules (15 min), and testing (30-60 min). Actual downtime during DNS switchover is only 15-30 minutes.

What's the cost of migration?

Migration to OEC.sh is free for all plans. Free tier customers have access to comprehensive documentation and community support. Pro plan customers receive email support during migration ($49/mo). Agency plan customers get white-glove migration service with a dedicated specialist ($199/mo). There are no hidden migration fees or setup charges. Check our pricing page for plan details.

Can I upgrade Odoo version during migration?

We recommend migrating to the same Odoo version first, then upgrading separately. This approach minimizes risk and makes troubleshooting easier. Once your Community Edition is stable on OEC.sh, you can upgrade to newer Odoo versions (14.0 to 19.0) using our version upgrade tools. Trying to migrate platforms and upgrade versions simultaneously significantly increases complexity.

Is there downtime during migration?

With our parallel deployment approach, actual downtime is minimal (15-30 minutes). You run your current setup and OEC.sh simultaneously, test thoroughly on OEC.sh, then switch DNS during a brief maintenance window. Most businesses schedule this during off-peak hours. For zero-downtime requirements, we offer synchronized migration where both systems run in parallel with real-time data sync until cutover.

Can I really use Odoo Community Edition on OEC.sh?

Yes, absolutely. OEC.sh is Community Edition First. Unlike Odoo.sh which requires an Enterprise license, OEC.sh fully supports Odoo Community Edition across all versions from 14.0 to 19.0. There are no hidden requirements or forced upgrades to Enterprise. You pay only for infrastructure and platform management, never per-user licensing.

Are OCA modules compatible with OEC.sh?

Yes, OEC.sh has native support for OCA (Odoo Community Association) modules. Connect your Git repository containing OCA modules, and OEC.sh automatically installs them during deployment. We support the full OCA ecosystem with over 1000 production-ready modules including reporting-engine, e-commerce, account-financial-tools, and more. See our OCA modules guide for installation instructions.
