Odoo is a business management platform used by companies across Belgium and the rest of the world to handle CRM, accounting, sales, project management, inventory, and more. While choosing the right Odoo modules or implementation partner is important, there’s another essential piece of the puzzle that often gets overlooked: where and how to provide your Odoo instance. If you’re not using Odoo’s SaaS version and have opted for the community or enterprise self-managed edition, reliable hosting is key to keeping your system secure, fast, and available. Here are the most important things to look for when hosting Odoo in Belgium.
Hosting in Belgium
Choosing to host your Odoo instance in a Belgian data centre means your data stays closer to home. This can make it easier to meet local data management expectations and helps ensure faster, more reliable access for your team.
Local hosting also simplifies support and gives you more clarity about where your business information is stored — which can be a reassuring factor for many Belgian organisations.
Daily Backups
A backup isn’t something to set and forget — especially when your Odoo instance contains sales, customer, and financial data. Daily automatic backups allow your team to quickly recover in case of errors, failed updates, or cyber incidents.
Reliable Storage and Traffic Handling
Your Odoo environment will include a database and potentially large amounts of files or attachments. Fast storage and unlimited traffic ensure your instance performs smoothly, even during peak usage.
Security Patching and Updates
Keeping your system patched is one of the most effective ways to protect against vulnerabilities — not just at the Odoo level, but also the operating system and server infrastructure beneath it. Patching should be handled proactively and regularly, ideally as part of a managed service.
Migration Support
If you’re moving your Odoo instance from a different provider, cloud platform, or internal server, make sure your hosting partner can help with the technical aspects of migration. This includes database transfers, configuration, and DNS changes.
