About

We host Open Source Software as a Service (SaaS) for you in the European Cloud

Our story

We are specialized in hosting open source business software for other companies

Our mission

Our mission is to make open source business software more accessible and easy to use for companies of all sizes.

To achieve this, we offer a range of services, including hosting and maintenance of open source business software, support and training, and custom development.

Main benefit

The advantage of using our service is that it allows your company to access the latest open source business software without having to invest in the infrastructure and resources required to host and maintain it.

This not only saves time and money, but also allows your company to focus on its core business, knowing that your software is in good hands.

Open-source first

We utilize open-source technologies and standards to provide our services

Why open-source?

Collaboration and community support

Open source software is developed and maintained by a community of users and developers who collaborate and share knowledge and expertise. This can provide a valuable support network for users.

No vendor lock-in

With open source software, users are not tied to a specific vendor and can switch to a different solution if they are not satisfied with the software or the vendor's support. This provides users with more control and flexibility.

Greater transparency

Open source software is developed in the open, which allows users to see how the software is developed and how it works. This can provide greater transparency and accountability, compared to proprietary software that is developed behind closed doors.

Innovation and competition

Open source software encourages innovation and competition, as developers are free to build on and improve existing software without having to worry about intellectual property restrictions. This can result in faster progress and more innovative solutions.

Our name

Hosst is host with OSS in the middle: open source software

Licences

We host software with an open source core, under a licence approved by the Open Source Initiative. When a licence restricts hosting, such as the Business Source License, we only offer the software with its vendor's agreement.

Your installation

Every client gets their own installation of the same software anyone can download. No lock ins, your data is available for export and you can run it yourself or with another host.

Giving back

We give 10% of our revenue back to open source. Our open source page lists where it goes.
