Frequently Asked Questions

The main difference is infrastructure ownership. OPaaS hosts your Odoo on their servers. HAV.sh manages Odoo on your own server — you keep full SSH and database access, and your data never leaves your infrastructure.
Yes. Export your Odoo database from OPaaS, provision a server, and import into HAV.sh. HAV.sh currently supports Odoo 17 and 18, with earlier versions coming later.
HAV.sh works with any server provider. For European hosting, simply provision a Hetzner server in Germany or Finland — HAV.sh handles the rest. You choose the data center location.
HAV.sh gives you complete data sovereignty because your data stays on your own server. You control the provider, the region, and who has access. No third party stores or processes your data.
