# 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 development community](/development-community/) and let
|
||
us know!

## Choosing between Zulip Cloud and self-hosting
|
||
|
||
Whether [signing up for Zulip Cloud](/new/) or [self-hosting
|
||
Zulip](/self-hosting/) 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][export-cloud], [self-hosted][export-self-hosted])
|
||
ensure you can always move from our hosting to yours (and back).
