Self-hosting & your own cloud in Zug

Your own cloud instead of a rented subscription: Nextcloud, your own servers and an infrastructure that belongs to you – data in Switzerland, no US CLOUD Act. For data-conscious businesses, holdings and startups in Zug, Baar, Cham and the region that take independence seriously. Remote across Switzerland, on site in the Zug region.

Sound familiar?

When the cloud isn't really yours

  • A per-seat subscription for every store and tool – and costs rise with every employee.
  • Sensitive financial, holding or client data sits with US providers under foreign law.
  • You're tied to one provider – switching is expensive, exporting is painful.
  • “Swiss cloud” sounds good, but in the end it's still just another rented black box.

What I build

An infrastructure that belongs to you

Your own cloud (Nextcloud)

File storage, calendar, contacts, office and teamwork on your own server – the self-determined alternative to OneDrive & Google. More →

Self-hosting & servers

Your own servers, virtualisation with Proxmox, a segmented network – your services on your hardware in Switzerland, cleanly separated and secured.

Backup by 3-2-1

Properly backed up from the start: several copies, encrypted, one off site. Recovery is tested, not hoped for.

Managed operation

On request I take on updates, monitoring and security long-term – or I hand everything over documented so you can carry on yourself.

Why sovereign

Your data, your infrastructure, no lock-in

Data in Switzerland

On your own hardware or in Switzerland – not under US law like the CLOUD Act. Access only where you allow it.

No per-seat subscription

A one-off build instead of a user licence that rises with every employee – costs you know and control.

Independent & open

Open source, handed over documented – you can switch or keep running it yourself at any time. Sovereignty also means independence from me.

How it works

Three phases to your own infrastructure

01 Intro call & plan kostenlos

We clarify which services should leave the rented cloud and what moves to your own hardware – with a clear plan and fixed key figures.

02 Build & migrate

Set up servers, configure services, migrate data – without a break, old and new in parallel where needed.

03 Operate & hand over

Handed over documented; on request I take on updates, backup and security long-term.

“I run exactly this infrastructure myself – I don't sell what I don't control.”

Price

Transparent guide figures

Own cloud / self-hosting as a project · ongoing operation from CHF 300 / mo
  • Build as a project with a fixed cost frame – the hardware and system belong to you
  • Ongoing operation (updates, backup, monitoring) optional at a predictable monthly price
  • No per-user subscription; you can keep running it yourself thanks to a documented handover

The goal is an infrastructure that's predictable and yours. Where an off-the-shelf solution is enough, I'll say so.

FAQ

Good to know

More: your own cloud & NAS · for your business.

Why self-hosting instead of a Swiss cloud provider?
A Swiss provider is a good intermediate step – but it's still a rented cloud with a per-seat subscription and a provider in between. Self-hosting means the infrastructure is yours, there's no outside access except what you allow, and no ever-rising user licences. For data-conscious businesses in Zug it's often the more consistent path.
Does the data then really stay only in Switzerland?
Yes. Your data lives on your own hardware or on a server in Switzerland – not under US law like the CLOUD Act. Access runs through clear permissions, is transmitted encrypted and backed up from day one following the 3-2-1 rule.
Are we then dependent on you?
No – that's the core idea. I build on open standards and open source and hand everything over documented. You can keep running it yourself or bring in another provider at any time. On request I keep maintaining it – because you want that, not because you have to.
Do you come on site in the Zug region?
Yes. Setup, network and hardware I do on site in Zug, Baar, Cham and the region; configuring and running the services then happens mostly remotely. We clarify what makes more sense in the free intro call.
What if the hardware fails?
That's covered from the start: well-thought-out backups following the 3-2-1 rule, optional redundant hardware and monitoring that alerts automatically. Your own cloud doesn't mean a hobby setup – it's run so a failure is caught.
