self-hosted

Self-hosted software is a type of software that is installed and operated on a user’s own hardware or infrastructure, rather than being hosted and managed by a third-party provider. This means that the user has full control over the software, including the ability to customize and configure it to their specific needs. By running the software on their own servers or devices, users can also maintain greater control over their data, security, and privacy. Self-hosted software is often used by individuals and organizations who want to avoid relying on external providers for hosting and maintenance, and who want to have more control over their software environment. Examples of self-hosted software include content management systems, email servers, and collaboration tools.
