About SelfHosted.sh

SelfHosted.sh is a resource for anyone looking to replace expensive SaaS subscriptions with open source, self-hosted alternatives.

We write in-depth comparison guides, setup tutorials, and honest assessments of self-hosted software — covering everything from analytics and email to project management and CRM.

Why self-host?

• Privacy — Your data stays on your servers, under your control.
• Cost — A $5/month VPS can replace hundreds in SaaS subscriptions.
• Freedom — No vendor lock-in, no surprise pricing changes, no feature removals.
• Learning — Running your own infrastructure teaches you how things actually work.

Our approach

Every guide on this site aims to be:

• Practical — Real setup instructions you can follow, not marketing fluff.
• Honest — We cover the trade-offs. Self-hosting isn't always the right choice.
• Comprehensive — Feature comparisons, resource requirements, and migration paths.

SelfHosted.sh is operated by Paperkite Technologies.
