Summary

Self-hosted owners and agencies managing many client sites face a crushing, never-ending maintenance burden: sites get compromised even with premium security plugins, malicious accounts hide in the database, and bot attacks pound servers daily, leaving operators anxious, unsure what else to check, and without expert help. Add to this the scaling nightmare of continuous accessibility/compliance checking across hundreds of client sites (where a clean automated scan still isn't enough and lawsuits loom), and you get a severe, unsolved pain. For a self-hosted virtual tour platform sold on 'one-time payment, no recurring fees', customers choosing self-hosting will inherit exactly this maintenance, security and per-client management weight. There is no simple, safe, self-maintaining solution that lets non-experts host many client tours without constant fear of breaches, downtime or compliance failures.
