#Self-hosting
Definition
Self-hosting is having a server at home in order to host personnal data and services on it.
Administrator responsibilities
Self-hosting implies responsibilities, if you want to host a website, emails and have an instant messaging system running, the server needs to stay online all the time, 24/7.
Problems can happen and the server could become unavailable: a power outage, Internet access loss, etc.
If you use the email system and your server becomes unavailable, emails destined to the server will be re-sent under 3 to 7 days.
