      - q: "Can I upgrade my plan?"
        a: "Yes, at any time. Hosted plans come with a 21-day money-back guarantee if you don't love it."
      - q: "Can I use my own domain?"
        a: "Yes. With your own domain, your email, shared documents, and video calls carry your own identity and branding. We recommend [Porkbun](https://porkbun.com/) if you need to buy one."
      - q: "Where is everything hosted?"
        a: "You choose. We host your Federated Core in partner datacenters in North America, Europe, and Asia. If you have specific location requirements, just ask us."
      - q: "Is my data backed up?"
        a: "Yes. Hosted plans are backed up with Backblaze to secure datacenters separate from where your Federated Core runs. Self-hosted installations can add backups for $15/month."
      - q: "Is it really 100% private?"
        a: "Yes. Nothing about your data storage is shared with other customers. Federated can't see your data unless you give us explicit access, normally for a support request. We can't and won't share it with advertisers or use it to train AI."
      - q: "What if I want to leave later?"
        a: "Everything is open-source, with open data formats for import and export. Take your data, host it yourself, or move to another provider. You're never locked in."
