# Public-Cloud Hosting

Our Public Cloud Hosting option for the zkPass Service is like a communal digital space that's open and accessible to everyone. We take care of hosting the service, making it readily available for public use. This approach is perfect for those who want the benefits of cloud technology without the hassle of managing it themselves.

While the public cloud is all about accessibility, we haven't compromised on security. To ensure the highest level of protection, we run the zkPass Service within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). This means even in a shared cloud space, the zkPass operates in a secure, isolated environment, safeguarding all operations and data against external threats.

In summary, Public Cloud Hosting for zkPass is an ideal solution for those seeking a balance between accessibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, without compromising on the security and reliability of the service.
