Built for the questions your auditors ask
Clear answers about where your data is, who can reach it, and how it is protected.
Data location, in writing
Your databases, files and backups are stored on servers we operate in our Asia region. A UAE region is opening soon for data that must stay in the UAE.
Isolation and audit logs
Each project has its own network, and each stage its own database role and files. Shell sessions and deploys are logged.
Backups you can restore
Daily backups kept for about three months, a backup before every update, and a restore test every week.
Encrypted offsite copies
Encrypted on the server before they are copied to a second location, so the storage provider only sees encrypted files.
Staging on real data
Rehearse every release on a neutralized copy of production, with emails caught and scheduled actions off.
Sized to your team
Choose the production workers you need and add capacity as more people use Odoo.
On our cloud, or on your own server
Start on our cloud, keep your own server, or use both. The same dashboard, backups and monitoring either way.
Fully hosted on our cloud
The Odoo.sh workflow on servers we operate, in our Asia region today: development, staging and production from GitHub, for Odoo 14 to 20. From $72 per worker per month.
On your own server
Keep Odoo on a VPS or machine you own: nothing is migrated. Link it with one command, or have us install Odoo 17 to 20 on it. Server Pro is $5 per server per month.
Protected either way
Daily backups with a restore test every week, encrypted offsite copies, monitoring and alerts, on our cloud and on your own server.
VAT and Arabic come from Odoo
Tax and language features are part of Odoo itself and work the same on Knova Cloud as anywhere else. We host and protect your Odoo; configuring VAT is for your accountant or Odoo partner.

- Multi-currency accounting in Odoo, including AED

Questions from UAE businesses
Is Knova Cloud hosted in the UAE?
Not yet: projects run in our Asia region today. A UAE region is opening soon; write to msak670@gmail.com if you need your data in the UAE and we'll tell you when it's available.
Where is my data hosted?
Your databases, files and backups are stored on the servers Knova Cloud operates, with each project isolated from the others. When offsite backups are configured, encrypted copies are also kept with a storage provider in a second location. Projects run in our Asia region; a UAE region is opening soon for customers who need their data in the UAE.
Does Knova Cloud make my Odoo VAT compliant?
VAT invoicing is handled by Odoo itself, through its United Arab Emirates fiscal localization, set up and checked by your accountant or Odoo partner. Knova Cloud hosts your Odoo and keeps it backed up; it doesn't change how Odoo calculates or reports tax.
How is my data backed up?
Production is backed up every day, and 7 daily, 4 weekly and 3 monthly backups are kept: about three months of history. The newest backup is restored as a test every week, and when offsite storage is configured, every backup is encrypted and copied to a second location. You can download any backup as a standard Odoo backup.
Is the Odoo Enterprise licence included?
No. Odoo Community is free and needs no licence; for Enterprise, you subscribe with Odoo S.A. and enter your subscription code inside Odoo once production is live. The Enterprise apps themselves are provided by Knova Cloud, and you never share your subscription code with us.
How much does Odoo hosting cost in the UAE?
On Knova Cloud, a hosted Odoo costs $72 per worker per month plus $0.25 per GB of storage, or less when billed yearly, and a staging environment is $18 per month, all billed in USD. Keeping Odoo on your own server costs $5 per server per month with Server Pro, plus $150 once per Odoo install. Odoo Enterprise licences are extra, and prices exclude taxes.
Where is Odoo.sh data stored for UAE customers?
Odoo serves Middle East customers of Odoo Online and Odoo.sh from Google Cloud's data centre in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, as Gulf News reported in 2024. Knova Cloud projects currently run in our Asia region, and a UAE region is in preparation. If your data must stay in the UAE today, run Odoo on a UAE server you own and let Knova Cloud install, monitor and back it up.
Is UAE e-invoicing mandatory for Odoo users?
It is mandatory in phases for businesses in scope, whatever software they use: those with revenue of AED 50 million or more must appoint an Accredited Service Provider by 30 October 2026 and go live on 1 January 2027, and smaller businesses go live on 1 July 2027, under Ministerial Decision 244 of 2025 as amended. Rehearse your Odoo e-invoicing setup on a staging copy of production first, and confirm your obligations with your tax adviser.
