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.
