Private Hosting
Disciple.Tools can be deployed in a private cloud environment where users must use zero trust security to access the system. This removes the Disciple.Tools login interface from the public Internet as an additional security precaution for your teams. In this configuration, your users' DNS queries to the Disciple.Tools instance are not visible regionally, and the Disciple.Tools instance itself is not on the public Internet where any underlying WordPress or other zero day vulnerabilities may be exposed.
Disciple.Tools has partnered with a low-cost, off-the-shelf zero trust provider who is supported by our hosting partners. Please Contact Us to learn more.

Incompatible Hosting Services
WordPress.com
WordPress.com is a great host for free simple websites, but they heavily control the themes and plugins allowed on their servers. For this reason, Disciple.Tools and the plugins developed for it are not compatible with this kind of shared, highly restricted hosting.
