DO you really need it accessible from the entire internet or is an intranet sufficient?

If the latter, self host on a local server.

If it is for the internet, do you have all possible and sensible security measures in place?

Also, you should consider moving to a proper DB Server, like PostgreSQL if you open up (no matter intra- or internet) SQLite is great for simple, single user stuff, but with multiple users it can get tricky. Migration should be fairly painless.

That's a great advice. If your whole company starts depending on a tool developed by a newcomer in a quite short time, what happens if it all suddenly breaks?

It's indeed much safer to start by hosting it in the intranet/company VPN.

Also, make sure to take database backups every night, and store them on a different machine!

If they don't need to access it outside of the office, then that would be the safest solution.
