Deploy and manage your own apps with full control, privacy, and flexibility.
Every SaaS subscription is a bet that the company behind it will keep the features you need, at a price you can afford, without changing the terms. Self-hosting removes that dependency. Run your own apps on your own server, own your data, and stop paying per-seat fees for software you could run yourself.
QDE runs AMD EPYC and Ryzen processors with NVMe storage and 10 Gbps connectivity in Amsterdam. Deploy Nextcloud, Matrix, Gitea, Vaultwarden, or any open-source app with Docker — all on infrastructure you fully control. Plans start at €3.95/month. Already know what you want to run? Check out our guide to de-Googling yourself with self-hosting.
Every SaaS tool you rely on is a dependency you don't control. Self-hosting on a VPS puts you back in charge of your data, your privacy, and your costs — with no per-user fees or surprise terms changes.
Files, messages, passwords, and code remain under your control. No third-party access, no terms-of-service surprises, no risk of account deletion.
Self-hosted apps use open formats and standard protocols. Your data is portable and your infrastructure is yours to move whenever you want.
Hosted in the Netherlands under GDPR, your apps respect privacy by design — not by policy. Your data never passes through someone else's servers.
Change themes, modify behavior, add integrations, and connect services in ways SaaS providers don't allow or charge extra for.
