Hello @Cheerag Nundlall,

there are 3 level of service providers :



- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) - ex: self-managed dedicated server
- PaaS (Platform as a Service) - ex: AWS or OVH cloud
- SaaS (Software as a Service) - ex: wordpress.com paid blog hosting

SaaS hosting is more than just a marketing buzzword; it refers to a specific hosting model that provides software applications as a service. It makes it possible for us to access and use software without having to invest up front in hardware, infrastructure, or software licensing.

SaaS hosting, also known as Software as a Service hosting, refers to the delivery of software applications over the internet through a third-party provider. In this model, instead of purchasing and installing software on individual computers or servers, users access the software through a web browser or dedicated client application.

SaaS hosting providers manage all aspects of the software infrastructure, including servers, networking, security, and updates. They typically offer a subscription-based pricing model, where users pay a regular fee to access and use the software.

With SaaS hosting, users can access the software from any device with an internet connection, eliminating the need for local installation and maintenance. The hosting provider takes care of scalability, ensuring that the software can handle increased usage and user demands.

So it's just a pre-installed software and drivers, isn't it?
Which is the differences for a casual user, who could install the software himself.
Does this fixes the licences issue?

The best ways to say about SaaS (Software As A Service), means you don't need to pay for hosting the software, you don't need to maintain it, you can just use it.

The positives are the above.

The negatives are you don't manage your customers data.

However it depends on the company's security and how locked down it is and how much you trust them, or if you'd rather host it yourself and be liable for everything including your customers data.
