On-premise, off-premise applications, what are they? [closed]

When I study about cloud-computing, I usually see these terms: on-premise, off-premise applications. I tried to search them on Google, but no luck. Can anyone please explain these terms to me?

On premises means on location, whereas off premises means remote (in the cloud). For instance if an application runs on an "on-premises" server it means the server is physically in the company. If you have an off-premises solution it's hosted in the cloud or centralized location.
