Additional motivations[edit]

Self-Hosting is also useful when internet is unavailable or unreliable, or one wishes not to depend on an external provider, as opposed to just privacy benefits. Magnify8004 (talk) 17:09, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction/Definition[edit]

Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining one or more services (such as a website or mail server) using a privately-managed instance, instead of using a service outside of someone's own control. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TopHatProductions115 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
