# Create & Manage BYOC Hosting

BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) allows organizations to use their existing cloud infrastructure to deploy and manage the blockchain network on Spydra Platform. This approach provides flexibility, cost savings, and the ability to meet specific compliance and security requirements.

Currently, Spydra supports the integration of user accounts from both **Azure** and **AWS**. This feature allows users to efficiently manage and monitor Spydra's blockchain network through these popular cloud service providers.

Once an organization is created, go to the organization dashboard and click on the "Hosting" tab. This tab displays all cloud hosting services added by the organization, with Spydra Managed Azure and Spydra Managed AWS visible by default. To add a new cloud hosting service, click "Create Hosting."
