Do internal tools need hosting?

Yes, internal tools need to be hosted somewhere so your team can access them. Traditionally, this meant provisioning servers, configuring deployment pipelines, managing SSL certificates, and handling uptime monitoring. Modern internal tool platforms eliminate this entirely by providing built-in hosting. When you build an internal tool on these platforms, it is instantly live and shareable with your team, with no deployment process, no server configuration, and no DevOps overhead. The platform handles infrastructure, security patches, scaling, and backups automatically. This is a major advantage for non-technical teams who need reliable internal tools without managing servers or relying on IT departments for every deployment.
