QGIS Cloud
QGIS Cloud is a hosted Web-GIS platform for publishing QGIS maps, spatial data, and services online. Users install its plugin in QGIS Desktop, upload data, and publish maps served with QGIS Server; the maps retain the styling of their desktop projects. The service provides PostgreSQL databases extended with PostGIS, manageable through tools such as pgAdmin and QGIS Database Manager. Maps and data can be shared through WMS, WFS, and WFS-T services, with WFS-T supporting edits. QGIS Cloud also includes web and mobile clients and map printing at resolutions up to 1200 dpi. Database access is password protected and encrypted; Pro can restrict access to maps and services. Maps and services under Free accounts are public, and Free use is limited to non-commercial and non-government activity. QGIS Cloud Free costs nothing and includes unlimited public maps, one PostGIS 3.1 database, 50 MB total, and 10 concurrent database connections. QGIS Cloud Pro is billed at 65 Euro/month.
