What self-hosting means here

You pick an app from the catalog. We provision it on AvaHost with your own domain, free HTTPS, scheduled backups, and application updates. You get a running instance and terminal access — not a blank server to assemble.

The software is open-source and free to run. Price is the recommended plan for that app, from 2€/mo. A managed database is included where the stack needs one. You still own the application, its users, and its data.

Why not just rent a plain VPS?

You can, and for one app you know well it may be the cheaper answer. The difference shows up in the second month.

On a bare server you are the person who notices a certificate expiring, who reads the changelog before a major version, who remembers that the database has never actually been backed up, and who is holding the pager when an update goes badly on a Friday.

The plans here cost about what a small VPS costs, and the certificate, the database, the update schedule and the backups come with them. If running the server is the part you enjoy, rent a VPS. If the application is the part you wanted, this removes the rest.

What stays yours to manage

The application itself. Its users, its content, its settings and its permissions are yours, configured through its own interface in the browser. We keep the instance running, current and backed up; we do not administer the software inside it.

Nothing here is a lock-in. These are open-source applications with their own export tools and their own data formats, and they behave the same on our infrastructure as they do anywhere else. If you move, you take the data with you in a format the project itself defined.
