This is diyhosting.bhh.sh, a site dedicated to freeing folks from google/facebook/amazon by showing them how to setup websites, email servers, chat servers and everything in between.

Starting a website is something that can be done in a lazy afternoon and costs pocket change.

Many internet problems could be solved if more people had their own personal platforms, so the objective of this site is to guide any curious person through the process of setting up a website.
