Self-hosting refers to hosting your data and services on your own servers or personal hardware. With this approach, you can manage applications, websites, or databases without relying on third-party services. How do you get started? First, you need to choose hardware (a home server, VPS, or cloud). Then, you install and configure licensed or open-source software based on your needs. Since you control your data, you gain privacy and security benefits, but in return, you also take on the responsibility of maintenance and security.

Self-hosting can be compared to cloud hosting (like AWS or DigitalOcean). While cloud services provide a team to assist with initial setup, self-hosting gives you full control and eliminates third-party costs.
