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.
If you encounter any problems as you're getting started, please drop by our friendly development community and let us know!

Choosing between Zulip Cloud and self-hosting
Whether signing up for Zulip Cloud or self-hosting Zulip is the right choice for you depends on the needs of your organization.
If you aren’t sure what you need, our high quality export and import tools (cloud, self-hosted) ensure you can always move from our hosting to yours (and back).
