Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every hosted community starts with a 14-day trial that includes all CUZY modules. No card is asked. Trials are not backed up and cannot be exported; both start the moment you subscribe.
Do you charge per user?
No. Team and Business are flat monthly or yearly prices with unlimited members. Limits apply to administrators, storage and notification emails, and can be raised on quote.
What happens if I exceed a limit?
Your community keeps working. Administrators see a warning at 80% and 90% of the storage limit, and uploads pause at 100% until space is freed or the plan is raised. Email limits are advisory: we contact you before anything is throttled.
Can I bring my own domain?
Yes, on every plan. Point a CNAME (or A records for an apex domain) at your community and we issue the certificate automatically.
Can I use modules from the HumHub marketplace?
Yes. All free and paid marketplace modules can be installed from the administration screen, exactly as on a self-hosted HumHub. Professional Edition modules from HumHub GmbH are not part of the offer.
Can I get Professional Edition modules, self-hosting or FTP access?
No. CUZY Hosting runs on our servers with the community edition of HumHub and the marketplace modules: no Professional Edition modules, no on-premise installation, no FTP or SFTP upload. Organizations that need one of these should look at the HumHub editions sold by HumHub GmbH & Co. KG (humhub.com/editions); CUZY modules work there too.
Where is my data hosted?
On dedicated servers in the region you choose when the community is created: Germany (EU), the USA or Singapore (APAC), all at Hetzner. Germany and the USA are available immediately; a Singapore community is set up within two business days. Encrypted backups are stored with a separate provider in the same region, except for Singapore communities, whose backups are stored in the United States because our backup provider has no Asian data center.
Can I leave with my data?
Yes. Subscribers download a complete export of their database and files from their dashboard, once a day. The export is a standard HumHub installation that runs on any server.
How do you handle updates?
Security fixes within 48 hours. HumHub patch releases one to two weeks after release, after a canary phase. Minor releases from their first patch version, announced two weeks ahead; Business customers may defer once.
Can I switch plans or cancel?
Plans change from the dashboard, and subscriptions are monthly or yearly with no minimum term beyond the paid period. Canceling keeps your community readable until the end of the paid period. About a month later the community is archived — it stops being reachable, nothing is lost — and it is deleted with its backups at the latest six months after the subscription ended. Ask us at any point during those months and we restore it, or delete it immediately.
Do you offer discounts for non-profits or low-income countries?
Yes. Registered non-profits and organizations in countries with a very low median income can ask for a discount before subscribing.
