What is self hosting?

Why Self-Hosting? 

And how Yundera makes it simple, secure, and affordable.

Over the last decade, the internet changed.

We went from owning software… to renting everything.

  • You don’t own your website — it lives on Wix or Webflow.
  • You don’t own your cloud — it’s on Google Drive or Dropbox.
  • You don’t even own your AI — it runs on someone else’s servers.

You pay, every month.

For storage. For emails. For video. For VPNs. For “AI credits.”

But worst of all — your data isn’t really yours.

That’s where self-hosting comes in.


🖥 What Is a Server?

Before we go further, let’s make one thing clear:

A server is just a computer.

But instead of sitting on your desk, it runs 24/7 and responds to requests — like showing a website, storing files, or running apps.

Every time you open Google Drive, stream Netflix, or ask ChatGPT a question — you're using a server.

The difference? It’s not yours. It belongs to big companies.

Self-hosting means: you run the server. You control the data.

And with Yundera, it’s not some dusty machine in your closet.

We host your server in Europe, securely and sustainably — and you get full control, with zero technical setup.


💡 What is Self-Hosting?

Self-hosting means running your own tools — on your own server.

  • Instead of using Google Drive, you run Nextcloud.
  • Instead of Slack, you run Mattermost.
  • Instead of Notion, you run AppFlowy.
  • Instead of paying $100/month for SaaS… you pay for one thing: your server.

No middlemen. No data harvesting. No rising subscription costs.


Why Self-Hosting Matters

Three simple reasons:

  1. You control your data — Not a corporation with unclear Terms & Conditions.
  2. You cut costs — Open-source tools are free.
  3. You gain flexibility — Customize tools however you want.

But here’s the catch:

💥 Self-hosting is hard.

You need to rent a server, configure Linux, set up security, manage domains, update containers, patch vulnerabilities…

That’s why most people don’t self-host.

🚀 This is why we built Yundera

Self-hosting isn’t the problem. Setup is the problem.

Yundera is a Private Cloud Server (PCS) — pre-installed, pre-secured, and always yours.

✅ Comes with your own domain (yourname.nsl.sh)

✅ 100+ open-source apps in 1-click

✅ Automatic backups & HTTPS

✅ No server skills required

Just pick your server → We set it up → You own it.

It’s like having your own Google Drive, website, and AI stack — without Google.

What Can You Run with Yundera?

You’d be surprised:

  • Files & Storage: Nextcloud, FileBrowser
  • Collaboration: Mattermost, Jitsi Meet
  • Media: Jellyfin, Navidrome

And more — all hosted on your own server.
