Specify Cloud is our premier hosting service that gives you a secure, managed, and always-accessible platform for your collections data. Access your live Specify 7 database and Web Portal from any modern web browser, with no software to install or servers to maintain.

We handle all the technical details for you. Your instance of Specify 7 is pre-installed on a fast, high-availability server, creating a robust environment for your data and media attachments. We perform regular backups of both your database and digital assets, ensuring they are protected and available whenever you need them. With Specify Cloud, you can be confident that your collection data is stored securely and privately on servers managed by the Specify Collections Consortium.
