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. QGIS Server serves the maps with 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. Web and mobile clients are included, as is map printing up to 1200 dpi. Database access is password protected and encrypted; QGIS Cloud Pro can restrict access to maps and services. Free accounts publish public maps and services and are limited to non-commercial, non-government use. QGIS Cloud Free costs 0.00 USD per free and includes unlimited public maps, one database, 50 MB total and 10 concurrent database connections. Pro is billed at 65 Euro/month and includes restricted map and WMS access, SSL support, more databases, daily backups and WebGIS client editing.
