# Setting up your organization
Welcome to Zulip! This page will guide you through trying out Zulip,
migrating your organization from other team chat tools (if needed),
getting everything set up, and inviting others to join.
If you are joining an existing organization, we recommend checking out
our guide to [Getting started with Zulip][getting-started].
[getting-started]: /help/getting-started-with-zulip
If you encounter any problems as you're getting started, please drop
by our [friendly developer community](/developer-community/) and let
us know!
## Trying out Zulip

## Choosing between Zulip Cloud and self-hosting
Whether [signing up for Zulip Cloud](/new/) or [self-hosting
Zulip][install-self-hosted] is the right choice for you depends on the
needs of your organization.
If you arent sure what you need, our high quality export and import
tools ([cloud][export-cloud], [self-hosted][export-self-hosted])
ensure you can always move from our hosting to yours (and back).
