One of the listed features of Event Espresso says that I will be able to “own” my data. I wanted to get some clarification and make sure I fully understand this feature. Does this mean when I install Event Espresso on my server, I have the option to setup a database on that server as well? Or does that mean that Event Espresso sets up a database on my behalf, on Espresso servers?

Hi Elizabeth,
That’s a great question. When you install Event Espresso, you’ll need to already have a database installed, since one of the requirements to install Event Espresso is a server running WordPress. In order to install WordPress, it requires a database (in most cases, a MySQL database). The Event Espresso software adds its own database tables to the existing MySQL database that WordPress uses. We only provide the software and support, the hosting is up to you. There are a few recommended hosting companies on our requirements page:
