# FAQ
## Inspiration for the name “Trilium”
> Naming software is hard. I lived in Ontario when I first started the project and Trillium (the flower) is sort of a provincial logo, many institutions in Ontario are named "Trillium \[something\]". So I kept hearing/reading it almost everyday, I liked the sound of it and its nature motif, so I just reused it.

> _ Zadam (original Trilium maintainer)_
> [!NOTE]
> Despite the fact that the Trillium flower has two “l"s, the Trilium application only has one.
## macOS support
Originally, Trilium Notes considered the macOS build unsupported. TriliumNext commits to make the experience on macOS as good as possible.

### Why does search sometimes find results with typos?
Trilium uses a progressive search strategy that includes fuzzy matching when exact matches return fewer than 5 results. This finds notes despite minor typos in your search query. You can use fuzzy search operators (`~=` for fuzzy exact match and `~*` for fuzzy contains). See the <a class="reference-link" href="Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/Navigation/Search.md">Search</a> documentation for details.

# Third-party cloud hosting
As an alternative to [hosting your own Trilium instance](1.%20Installing%20the%20server), there are two services out there that provide out of the box support for Trilium.
> [!IMPORTANT]

> PikaPods have gracefully offered us free credits for testing purposes.
## Cloud instance providers
### PikaPods
1. Go to [pikapods.com](https://www.pikapods.com)  and sign up.
2. In the “Available Apps” section, look for "TriliumNext
 and select “Run your own”.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your own cloud hosted instance.
PikaPods generally updates their Trilium instances to the latest version within a two-week interval after a new version is released.
### trilium.cc
[Trilium.cc](https://trilium.cc/) is a cloud service dedicated to hosting a Trilium instance.
> [!WARNING]
> Trilium.cc usually runs several versions behind Trilium releases.
## Matching your version with the cloud instance
Please note that once you set up <a class="reference-link" href="../Synchronization.md">Synchronization</a> between a cloud instance and [desktop](../Desktop%20Installation.md) clients, it's important that the version of the desktop application and the server match up.
When setting up a cloud instance, it's best to check the version of the server by accessing it via a web browser and going to the _About_ section. It's best that both the desktop and the server have the same _App version_; however it's generally OK to update the desktop to a newer version than the server if it has the same _Sync version_.
If the _Sync version_ between the server and the desktop application doesn't match, synchronization will not work.
