Comparison on odoo online, odoo.sh, On-Premise for community and enterprise versions
Recently, I re-picked up the odoo application. I started to use it five years ago, and at that time, its performance was slow and not quite well for usage. Currently, I found that it had a lot of improvement; its function covers many different area from HR, CRM, ERP, e-commerce, POS, helpdesk, project management, online booking, etc. I just got a cert on completed an odoo course. I think it is the right time to invest my time on odoo now, and hope that I can become a freeance on odoo support.
Odoo.sh is an advanced platform compared to Odoo online. Odoo online provides an instance of Odoo basics constraining the users with the usage of same level features provides by Odoo ERP. In Odoo Online platform, there is no provision to use any custom add-ons or custom development of the software which is required by almost every client on this earth as their processes are different, their business workflows are different. Odoo online is not that flexible compared to odoo.sh, as the installation of custom modules is not supported in Odoo online. We can only make the availability of Odoo pre-set modules here. Odoo.sh is scalar in nature allowing the installation of custom modules and further customizations.

According to the price comparison of hosting plan between hostgator.com and contabo.com , hostgator is cheaper, but it does not support script installation. Hence, it may a good choose to use contabo for manual application installation, such as install odoo. Moreover, as compare to AWS and Alicloud, these two will be more expensive than the contabo hosting plan.

Diary of IT Man – iChing Divine the Situation of US on 1/20/2021
Jan 20 will be the public ceremony of next US president. At this moment, it is big chance that Joe Biden will become the next US President; however, many evidences shew that his group cheated in the US president election.
It is really pity that it is unfair to Donald Trump, hence,I divine what will happen on that day as below.
- What will be the situation of US ?
Hexagram name: Fengze Zhongfu (卦名: 風澤中孚)
Fortune: Treat people with sincerity in everything, good for everything with faith, and evil thoughts will get bad result. Hope good guys more than bad guys in US, then, US will keep on good; otherwise, it will turn to bad
2. Will Joe Biden be the next US president ?
Hexagram Name: Li is Fire (卦名: 離為火)
Fortune: The appearance is exuberant, and it is the image of the scorching sun. Li Gua is about losing vigilance and encountering undue setbacks. It is not good for Biden, and I wish it will become true that Biden leave the US president position.
Diary of IT Man – 1/6/2021 is a Big Day for United States (Divine if Trump Continue as the President of US)
Information from -> https://www.skywaycare.com/en/using-healys-iching-analysis-program-to-analyze-trump-to-continue-as-the-president-of-the-united-states/ which use Healy’s iChing Analysis Program to
divine if Trump Continues as the President of the United States
Hexagram name: Kun is the earth
Change of Gua: Xiantian Bagua No. -> Kun is 8, 16:06pm Shen Shi is 9
Total addition and division 6 = (8 + 8 + 9) / 6 = 4 remaining 1
The ninth day/the sixth day of the month: The speech: Lushuang, the ice is very hard.
Prediction: Kun’s original meaning is supple, and now it is better to use static braking for better results. Now is a difficult time, but after the change, it is like the wind rising from the ground. The boots and the steps gradually rise, climbing from low to high, gradually growing, so it will be to better in future.
