If you have the possibility, freely host the same software directly on your school/association/company/organization thanks to our self-hosting tutorial found in the<strong>Framacloud</strong>.
You can also look for a trustworthy local webhosting service among the <strong>KITTENS</strong>, Keen Internet Talented Teams Engaged in Network Services!
These services are software, but this software is set up on someone else’s computer (on what’s called "servers"). Using services offered by Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft… ("GAFAM") means giving them your data, the parts of your life that you put on the Internet. So it’s a matter of trust.
This trust has allowed a handful of companies (GAFAM) to centralize data from a huge part of the population, holding a near-monopoly on our digital lives (an oligopoly). The <strong>dangers and stakes</strong> are threefold: economic, technological, cultural…
<strong>Our approach</strong> is simpleand consists in determining the self-imposed conditions that may justify such trust. We aim to offer alternatives that respect people and diversity while making it impossible to reproduce such monopolies.
In order for you to determine whether you can trust us, we have published an introduction to our Framasoft network (and to the non-profit that supports it), together with our reports and administrative documention under <strong>Who are we?</strong>
In order to answer you in the most human, personal fashion, we have designed a single page that enables us to find the most suitable person for your particular query as quickly as possible. We promise we’ll do our best, but there are only 24 hours to a day ;).
