Odoo Online provides private databases that are fully hosted and managed by Odoo. Databases are accessible from any web browser without a local installation, making it the easiest way to run Odoo in production or conduct thorough testing — including customizations that don’t require custom code.
Odoo Online is incompatible with custom modules or apps from the Odoo Apps Store. If you need custom module support, consider Odoo.sh or an on-premise installation.
To quickly try Odoo without signing up, shared demo databases are available. Each demo database is only available for a few hours.

​
Database Manager

All Odoo Online databases are managed from the database manager. Sign in as the database administrator to access all management options.

​
Domain Names

Configure a custom domain name by selecting a database and clicking the Domain Names (globe) icon. You can also register a domain name for free.

​
Tags

Organize your databases by adding tags. Select a database, click the Tags icon, enter a tag name, click the plus button, and save. Use the search bar in the top-right corner to filter by tag.

​
Hide a Database

Permanently hide a database from the manager by selecting it and clicking Hide. Hidden databases are still accessible via their direct URL.

​
Management Actions

Select a database and click the Manage (gears) icon to access all advanced database operations.
Change your pricing plan by clicking Switch under the desired plan tier.
Launch a database upgrade by clicking Upgrade. This option only appears when an upgrade is available for your database.
Change the database name and URL by clicking Rename, entering a new name in the dialog, and confirming.
Create a copy of the database by clicking Duplicate and entering a new name.
  • By default, the For testing purposes option is enabled, which disables all external actions (emails, payments, delivery orders, etc.) on the duplicate.
  • Duplicates expire after 15 days.
  • A maximum of five duplicates can be created per database. Contact Odoo Support to extend the limit in exceptional cases.
Download a ZIP file containing a database backup by clicking Download Backup.
  • Databases are backed up daily per the Odoo Cloud Hosting SLA.
  • If Download Backup is disabled, the database is too large to download this way. Contact Odoo Support for an alternative.
View a log of all actions taken by Odoo employees or the database administrator by clicking View Admin Activity Logs. Actions by Odoo employees are typically the result of support requests, quick-start projects, or routine maintenance.
Request a database ownership transfer by clicking Transfer Ownership. This creates a support ticket with the Odoo team.
Permanently delete the database and close its related subscription by clicking Delete.
All database data will be deleted instantly for all users and cannot be restored. Always download a backup before deleting. After deletion, the database name becomes available to anyone.

​
Web Services API

To retrieve the list of databases programmatically, call the list method of the odoo.database model via the external JSON-2 API: 
import requests

APIKEY = "your_apikey"

requests.post(
    "https://www.odoo.com/json/2/odoo.database/list",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"bearer {APIKEY}",
        "X-Odoo-Database": "openerp",
    },
    json={},
)
