## What are self-hosted services and what are their advantages? ## What are self-hosted services and what are their advantages?
When we use centralised services, such as popular social networks, we trust the admins of the resource that stores our correspondence, our photos and even the most important secrets said in a chat with close people. We allow our interests and music preferences to be analysed, receive targeted advertising based on them, and most likely participate in unnamed audience analysis programs and all sorts of surveillance.

Self-hosted is the term for keeping an online service in-house. The key to this approach is that you have an independent copy of the software on your server, without a third party running the service. To be an administrator, you don't need to be a programmer and understand all the intricacies of the inner workings of the server application, i.e. the service. Typically, application developers who are not beholden to the head office and its ad trackers will try to make the service as clear and simple to use as possible.

Popular examples include self-hosted email servers, messengers such as XMPP or Matrix, and VPN solutions. If you've worked in a large organisation, you've probably seen a standalone email service on the company domain, and you've probably also come across corporate messengers. These are all self-hosted, but not by you, but by the company you worked for. Popular examples include self-hosted email servers, messengers such as XMPP or Matrix, and VPN solutions.

Why does a company need its own email and messenger? The answer is simple: to keep employee communications and company secrets in their own hands, under their own control.

The SelfPrivacy infrastructure currently relies on the hosting capabilities of Hetzner and DigitalOcean. Sometimes the hosting provider may ask for proof of identity when you sign up. This protects them from spammers. In addition, the European jurisdiction requires to know your customer ([KYC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_your_customer)). We apologise for the fact that Hetzner is not involved in the collection of unnecessary data and the disclosure of information about users.

Providing photos or photocopies of documents to anyone online is a bad practice that we condemn. But thousands of users and we can vouch for the reliability of Hetzner, which is more privacy oriented. They have been around for many years and have a good reputation. For our part, however, we are looking for alternative solutions to this problem. Providing photos or photocopies of documents to anyone online is a bad practice that we condemn.

Cloudlare is reliable and free. They probably collect data, otherwise it's hard to explain why you should proxy other people's traffic for free. In our case we only use it as a DNS server and don't proxy anything. In the future we will replace it with our own DNS once we have solved the reliability problem. CloudFlare is reliable and free.

We are currently testing yggdrasil + alfis, which will eliminate the need for a domain registrar and cloudflare. However, the testing, bug reporting to developers and sleepless nights will continue as we try to provide users with only the most reliable solutions we can find.
