Stop renting your software. Own it.
Your business pays thousands every month to Google, Microsoft, and Dropbox — for software running on their servers, storing your data in their clouds. There is a better way.
SelfHostSolutions sets up open-source alternatives on a server you own, in your office or home. You pay once. You own everything. Your data never leaves India.
Why Indian businesses are switching
Paying SaaS forever
Google Workspace: ₹150/user/month. Slack: ₹100/user/month. Notion, GitHub, Dropbox — it adds up to lakhs every year, and the bill never stops.
Own it permanently
Set up once on your own server. Same tools — Nextcloud, Mattermost, Gitea — running forever with no monthly fee. Hardware pays for itself in months.
Your data in foreign clouds
Customer records, invoices, and employee data stored on servers in the US or Singapore. India's DPDP Act 2023 is changing what that means legally.
Data stays in India, on your server
Your files, invoices, and student or customer data live on a server in your office. You control who accesses it. DPDP compliant by design.
What we do
We help small businesses, clinics, colleges, and startups replace expensive SaaS tools with self-hosted open-source software — set up, configured, and maintained by us.
Self-hosting starter kit
A pre-configured mini-PC or refurbished server with Proxmox and Docker installed, loaded with the open-source tools your business needs. We handle the full setup, network configuration, and handover. You get a server that just works — no technical knowledge required to use it.
Best for: Small businesses, clinics, CA firms, and startups replacing 3+ SaaS tools
Replaces: Google Workspace, Dropbox, Slack, Notion, GitHub
Typically includes: Nextcloud (files + docs), Invoice Ninja (invoicing), Mattermost (team chat), Gitea (code), Vaultwarden (passwords)
Monthly managed services
We remotely monitor your self-hosted server, apply security updates, manage backups, and fix issues before they affect your business. You get the benefits of self-hosting without needing an in-house IT team. We use Uptime Kuma for monitoring and Tailscale for secure remote access — no open ports, no risk.
Best for: Businesses with no dedicated IT staff who want peace of mind after setup
Replaces: Paid IT support contracts, cloud monitoring tools
DPDP compliance package
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 requires businesses handling sensitive personal data — KYC documents, health records, student information, financial data — to store it within India under controlled conditions. We audit your current setup and deploy an on-premise storage solution (Nextcloud or MinIO) so your data never leaves your building. Compliance deadline: May 2027.
Best for: Healthcare clinics, HR software companies, fintech startups, colleges, and legal firms handling Indian personal data
Replaces: Cloud storage (AWS S3, Google Drive, Azure Blob) for sensitive Indian user data
One-time consulting and setup
Already have a server or VPS? We will deploy and configure any self-hosted tool you need — Nextcloud, Invoice Ninja, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, Uptime Kuma, Proxmox, and more. Includes full documentation and a handover call so your team knows how to use it.
Best for: Developers, homelab enthusiasts, and technical teams who need expert deployment of a specific tool
Replaces: Freelance IT contractors, cloud migration consultants
Real deployments, real savings
We have set up self-hosted infrastructure for local businesses in Bihar and a 250-student college — replacing paid software with open-source tools on hardware they own.
Built and run by someone who self-hosts everything
SelfHostSolutions is based in Patna, Bihar. This website itself runs on a self-hosted server — no cloud hosting, no third-party platform. If we recommend it, we run it ourselves.
