Take back control
Everything you do online is intermediated - your actions permissioned, your data custodied.
Opt out by running a private server.
Previously, this was only available to the tech savvy and the wealthy. Start9 levels the playing field by making it possible for everyone else.
Powered by StartOS
Just as Windows and macOS made it possible for anyone to own a personal computer, StartOS makes it possible for anyone to own a personal server.
StartOS facilitates the entire process of discovering, installing, configuring, and using any variety of open-source software from anywhere in the world without trusting anyone.
StartOS is the distribution platform open source software has been waiting for. Check out the source code!
Cloud computing
The "cloud" is just someone else's computer. Your cell phone and laptop are just remote controls. You are not in control.
In the cloud computing paradigm, there is no privacy, censorship is commonplace, hacks are inevitable, and costs will forever rise.
Sovereign computing
When you run a private server, you are in control. You don't rely on others to process or store your data.
In the sovereign computing paradigm, concerns over privacy, censorship, hacks, and fees practically disappear.
Be your own everything
Anything you can do in the closed-source, intermediated, custodial, expensive model of cloud computing you can do in the open-source, self-hosted, private, and free model of sovereign computing.
