Client-Hosted Software runs on your own VPS or cloud account (DigitalOcean, AWS, Hostinger), giving you complete control over database backups, SSL certificates, and server access. Vendor-Hosted SaaS runs on third-party vendor servers where you log into a shared environment and pay recurring monthly fees without server or database access.
