+## Join the Hosted Community
+
+Trade Control will soon offer hosted deployment — a simple way to run your ERP tools without managing infrastructure.
+This option is ideal for small teams who want to get started quickly, with updates and support handled for you.
+When ready, you’ll be able to sign up, configure your workspace, and deploy with a single click.
+
+> Deployment is not yet available, but the hosted environment is being prepared. Stay tuned.
+
+## Host in Your Own Cloud
+
+Prefer to run Trade Control in your own environment?
+We’ll provide everything you need to deploy the app in your own cloud — including container images, configuration templates, and setup guides.
+This option gives you full control over your infrastructure while keeping the ERP logic intact.
+
+> Self-hosted deployment will be documented once the hosted version is live.
