# Self-Hosted

Ddosify Platform has two versions:

* Cloud (available at [here](https://app.ddosify.com/))
* Self-Hosted (installation at [here](https://github.com/ddosify/ddosify/tree/master/selfhosted))

While you can directly start to use [Ddosify Cloud](https://app.ddosify.com/) without any overhead or installation, you can also use Ddosify in-house and host it yourself using Ddosify Self-Hosted. 

It has two editions:

* Community
* Enterprise

While Community Edition allows you to monitor your Kubernetes clusters and use distributed mode for performance testing, Enterprise Edition allows you to do much more. For more information, you can compare the editions [here](https://github.com/ddosify/ddosify?tab=readme-ov-file#comparison-of-ddosify-cloud-self-hosted-ee-self-hosted-ce).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ddosify.com/ddosify/self-hosted.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
