Everything You Need. Nothing You Don’t.
Self-Hosting as a Service. You decide, we run it.
What is this all about?
SelfHostSam is a complete infrastructure platform. We call it Self-Hosting as a Service: you decide, we run it. Like self-hosting on-prem, but without the pain.
Every customer gets the same secure foundation: a private VPN, built-in backups, built-in storage, and built-in servers. One login for everything. On top of that, you add the services your team needs: file sharing, password vault, Git repos, chat, photos, and more. For us a service is a solution fulfilling a need. You and your team have the need, we provide the solution.
It’s all powered by open source software. The SamNet App ties it together, so there’s no configuring keys, no containers to wrangle, no setup hassle.
All private. All EU-hosted. All managed for you — based on your need, not what we want to deliver.
