Confluence Hosting possible for Sales partners?

Question

Hello,

we are a software manufacturer of an ERP software and we have an indirect sales channel in which our sales partners have the option to host our software on their own servers. And they also have the possibility to create and manage their own online help system which is provided by us.

Therefore it would be nice if they could also host their online help system on their own servers. I have heard that Confluence can be used as such a help system.

So, would it also be possible to host Confluence on their own servers when they use it as a help system? Or is it only possible to host Confluence in a Public Cloud?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Rainer

@Nicolas Grossi Thank you.

Yes, that's part of what I mean. But it's also about differentiating between hosting the content on a public server or in a private cloud which means that the content is hosted on site of our customers/sales partners, on their own servers.

Hi @Rainer Schneider

To elaborate on my other answer to your second questions :) , and since @Nicolas Grossi mentioned Viewport too...

Well, Confluence used to have a self-hosted Server version but that's gone.

What could be a solution is Scroll Viewport because it allows the following:

* your customer's own domain (like docs.yourcustomername.com)
* your customers can choose to make a Viewport site public (available to anyone) or to their employees only via SSO. That means that even employees without a Confluence seat but under the SSO can access the content.
