This is the age of SaaS (software-as-a-service) and hosted apps. Seems like everywhere you turn there’s another web site where for $___ per month they will host something for you.
There are also “middle ground” sites like PikaPods.
What kind of apps are we talking about?
- Document storage, management and sharing
- Social network integrations or your own social networks
- Infrastructure like DNS and monitoring
- Office and collaboration, task management, and project management
- Family apps like recipe sharing and photo albums
…and tons more.
The LowEnd community is inherently a DIY group. There is a famous list of self-hosted lists. We also have a thread on LowEndTalk where people are discussing their setups.

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox
I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.
I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
